There is no single preparation length that fits everyone. It depends on your current level, target, study time, test date and the skills that need the most work.

No legitimate preparation course can guarantee a specific test score. Preparation can improve familiarity, strategy, language skills and confidence, but results depend on the learner and the official test performance.

Use the Contact / Register page and share the program you are interested in, your preferred class format and any upcoming test date. Dolphin can follow up with current options.

Both versions include Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Listening and Speaking are the same in both; Reading and Writing use different material and tasks. Academic is commonly used for higher education, while General Training is commonly used for migration or below-degree training.

Yes. Preparation can include Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, with extra attention given to the skills where you need the most improvement.

Writing and Speaking improve most effectively with guided practice and feedback. Dolphin preparation can include structured writing review, speaking practice and correction of recurring language problems.

Timed practice can be included to help learners understand pacing, question types and test pressure. The exact amount of mock-style practice can be adjusted to the learner’s preparation stage.

CELPIP-General assesses Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. CELPIP-General LS assesses Listening and Speaking only.

Yes. CELPIP is computer delivered. Preparation can therefore include keyboard, headset, microphone and timed-response practice in addition to language skills.

CELPIP-General Writing includes an email task and a survey-response task. Preparation can focus on organization, tone, vocabulary, grammar and completing the task clearly within the time limit.

Useful preparation includes learning to organize ideas quickly, respond directly to the prompt, speak clearly and practise the types of situations used in the test, such as advice, description, prediction, persuasion and opinion.

No. ESL learning can be useful at different levels. A learner may need foundational English, stronger grammar, more vocabulary, better pronunciation, improved writing or simply more confidence speaking.

Yes. The learning focus can include conversation, pronunciation, listening and practical vocabulary while still correcting the grammar and sentence patterns that affect clear communication.

Grammar can be an important part of ESL, but it works best when learners also use it in speaking, writing, reading and listening rather than studying rules in isolation.

Yes. If general English is limiting test performance, strengthening vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening or speaking first can make later test preparation more productive.

CAEL assesses English in an academic context. It reports scores for Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing and is used by Canadian post-secondary institutions and other organizations that accept CAEL results.

Some CAEL tasks require you to use information you read or hear when producing a speaking or writing response. Preparation therefore includes understanding source material, taking notes and combining ideas accurately.

Yes. CAEL is fully computer delivered, so preparation can include typing, on-screen reading, listening, note-taking and spoken responses using a computer-based format.

Preparation can strengthen academic reading, listening, note-taking, synthesis, organized writing and speaking from source information—skills that are also useful in post-secondary study.

Life Skills Education can include practical communication, interview preparation, public speaking, body language, confidence building, goal setting and other personal-development topics. Current topics can vary.

No. It is focused on practical communication and personal-development skills rather than preparation for one specific English test.

Those are suitable Life Skills topics. Practice can focus on organizing answers, speaking clearly, presenting ideas, handling common interview situations and building confidence.

Communication is not only the words we use. Eye contact, posture, listening behaviour and other non-verbal signals can affect how confident, attentive and clear a speaker appears.
