Foundations for Learning

We recommend you take a NorQuest College placement assessment to determine the appropriate levels of study.

You must provide proof of English language proficiency (ELP) before admission. You must have obtained your ELP test results within two years of the start date of your program.

Acceptable evidence of ELP may be one of the following test scores:

• CLBPA, CLBPT or CLBA: no section score below 5
• IELTS Academic: 5
• TOEFL iBT: 40
• CELPIP General: 5
• Duolingo: 85
• minimum of 80% in ESLS 5000 or ESLS 5100, and 80% in ESLW 5000 or ESLW 5100
