The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is a fully computer-delivered English language testing program. It measures competency in four language skills:
- listening

Two version of CELPIP are offered at the polytechnic:
The CELPIP-General measures all four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada accepts it as proof of English language knowledge for those applying for permanent residency.
The CELPIP-General LS measures two skills: listening and speaking. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada accepts it as proof of English language knowledge for those applying for Canadian citizenship.
