Language Assessment Centres

By ADMIN - March 15 2014

Language assessment services provide free English language assessments for immigrants. The assessment demonstrates your level of English skill in listening, speaking, reading and writing. After the assessment, you will learn which English classes are best for you. The assessor can help you decide and tell you what you need to do to start classes. These classes will help you improve your English, meet other newcomers and learn about Canada.

Coordinated Language Assessment and Referral System (CLARS) provides free English language assessments and referrals to classes for immigrants who are eligible for government-funded language training.

Language assessments are provided by the Centre for Education & Training on a scheduled and pre-booked basis at the CLARS Centre in Richmond Hill, as well as the Welcome Centre Immigrant Services and Language Training Providers’ locations throughout York, Simcoe and Durham Regions.

To book an appointment for a language assessment, please call: 1-855-330-8655 or email us at: ysla@tcet.com
