CELBAN (Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses)

Before being able to qualify as a nurse in Canada, foreign trained nurses must pass an English language test.
The CELBAN exam is used to test the English skills of internationally trained nurses. It is accepted by RN, RPN and LPN licensing boards in Canada as the first step toward becoming licensed to work as a nurse in Canada.

In British Columbia CELBAN is recognized by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) and the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of British Columbia (CLPNBC).

Applicants must meet English fluency requirements before the CRNBC or the CLPNBC can proceed with the application process for licensing.

The official test is administered by the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks (CELAS).

Gateways Learning Centre will help you prepare for the test.
