Canadian Language Benchmarks placement Testing (CLBPT)

The CLBPT is a low-stakes assessment tool developed to place adult learners into LINC ESL programs. It can be used for placement into language training programs or workplace training programs with a language component. It is also accepted for Health Care Assistant/Aide Programs. Clients should confirm with their program, employer or school that the CLBPT is acceptable as entry to their program.
