ASSIST Community Services Centre is pleased to offer CELPIP–Horizon, a flexible, computer-based English assessment designed to help learners better understand their current language abilities and prepare for their next steps in education, employment, or English language training.
CELPIP–Horizon evaluates practical, real-world communication skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The assessment takes approximately 55 minutes to complete and provides a detailed report showing the learner’s performance in each language skill. Results are generally available within 48 hours and are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, known as CEFR.
The assessment provides a clear picture of a learner’s current English abilities. This information can help programs place learners in an appropriate class, identify areas where additional support may be needed, and develop more targeted learning plans.
ASSIST CELPIP–Horizon can be used as a realistic practice assessment for individuals preparing to take the CELPIP–General test. It introduces learners to similar question formats and task types, helps them understand what to expect, and identifies the skills they may need to strengthen before taking the official test.
ASSIST CELPIP–Horizon is delivered through Prometric’s secure online assessment platform. Depending on the service arrangement, the assessment may be completed remotely from a quiet and appropriate location or delivered through an approved testing location. Secure identity verification, system controls, and online proctoring help protect the integrity of the assessment.
With one efficient assessment, learners receive meaningful information about their English skills, areas for improvement, and readiness for future language-learning, testing, education, and employment goals.
