What this is

A complete CELPIP preparation course, online, free to start

172 lessons across Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. No classes to book, no coaching fees, no PDFs to hunt down. Self-paced, built for the computer-delivered CELPIP-General test, and grounded in official material: the real scoring dimensions, officially rated sample answers, and the official score conversion charts.

A roadmap, not a playlist

Each course is a guided path: two foundation units on how the test works and how top scorers approach it, then a dedicated unit for every task or part on the exam.

Short lessons, worked examples

Units mix short concept lessons, annotated worked examples, and quizzes with an explanation for every choice, so you always know why an answer is right.

Real practice closes every unit

No unit ends on theory. Speaking and writing units finish with an AI-graded answer; reading and listening units finish with timed drills scored instantly.

Progress and XP that stick

Lessons award XP, roadmaps track completion, and your progress syncs to your free account across devices. Start on any skill and switch anytime.

The four courses

One course per CELPIP skill

Each skill gets its own full course. Start with the skill your target score depends on most; your progress and XP carry across all four.

CELPIP Speaking Course

10 units · 64 lessons · 490 XP

Covers all 8 speaking tasks, from giving advice to describing an unusual situation. Each task unit teaches the format, a named template you can lean on under pressure, and the band 9+ habits that make an answer sound natural instead of memorized. Every unit ends with a real answer you record and get AI-graded on the four official dimensions.

CELPIP Writing Course

4 units · 22 lessons · 160 XP

CELPIP Reading Course

6 units · 36 lessons · 270 XP

CELPIP Listening Course

8 units · 50 lessons · 380 XP

Covers all 6 listening parts, from Problem Solving to Viewpoints.

Every unit ends with real timed drills scored instantly.

Inside a lesson

A free worked example from the Speaking course

Each of the 8 speaking task units has an annotated model answer like this one, two quizzes and a recorded practice answer at the end. This one is Task 1, giving advice.

The prompt

Your friend Daniel just accepted his first full-time job at a small design studio and starts on Monday. He is nervous about making a good impression on his first day. Give him advice on how to handle his first day at the new job.

The model answer

"Hey Daniel, congrats, a design studio, that's such a good fit for you. First days are always a bit nerve-wracking, so let me give you a couple of things that really helped me.

The first thing I'd do is get there early, like ten or fifteen minutes early. Not so early that you're standing outside a locked door, but enough that you're not rushing in flustered. When I started at my agency, I showed up right on the dot, sweating, and I felt behind for the whole morning. Getting in a little early lets you settle, find the kitchen, figure out where you sit, and just breathe before things kick off.

The other big one is names. You're going to get introduced to a lot of people at once and forget every single one. So when someone tells you their name, actually use it back right away, 'Nice to meet you, Priya,' and maybe jot the names down at your desk after. People notice when you remember, and honestly it's the fastest way to feel like you belong there.

And don't be shy about asking questions. Nobody expects you to know the software or the process on day one, so if you're unsure, just ask. It looks way better than guessing and getting it wrong.

Anyway, you're going to be great, they clearly liked you enough to hire you. Text me after and tell me how it went, okay? Good luck, Daniel."

  1. Connect

    "Hey Daniel, congrats... let me give you a couple of things that really helped me."

    Names him, reacts to the good news, and frames what's coming, all in natural speech. Notice it says "a design studio, that's such a good fit" instead of repeating the prompt.

  2. Advise (suggestion 1)

    "The first thing I'd do is get there early..."

    Concrete and picturable, with a built-in guardrail ("not so early that you're standing outside a locked door") that shows real thought.

  3. Reason (for suggestion 1)

    "When I started at my agency, I showed up right on the dot, sweating..."

    An invented personal example. It does not have to be true. It just has to be relevant, and it develops the point far past "arrive early because it's good."

  4. Advise (suggestion 2) + Reason

    "The other big one is names..."

    Immediately backed by Reason ("People notice when you remember... the fastest way to feel like you belong").

  5. Advise (suggestion 3) + Reason

    "And don't be shy about asking questions..."

    Kept short. A third point used only because there was time, exactly as planned.

  6. End

    "Anyway, you're going to be great... Text me after."

    Warm, encouraging, and it hands the conversation back to him instead of dribbling into silence.
