Programs

English for Nurses

The English for Nurses program was developed to prepare internationally educated nurses to pass the Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses (CELBAN) as well as to help them improve their use of English in their daily lives. 

Since its inception, nurses from the Philippines, Africa and Easter Europe have benefited from the program, including one-on-one coaching, training materials and exam preparation.  The program has an excellent track record of nurses passing the CELBAN exam.

For more information see the English for Nurses website.
