Advantages and Disadvantages of Taking CELBAN
Advantages
- CELBAN is that it is very relevant to the nursing profession and so you may find it a fairer test.
- You probably do not need to self-study it as much. The main thing is understanding the parts and what to expect. The types of tasks should be what you already experienced in your training.
- If you feel that you can perform English better when doing nursing functions, you would probably better off taking CELBAN
Disadvantages:
- There are few courses and tutors for CELBAN.
- CELBAN fills up very quickly and there is only one testing center (see below under Test Dates and Locations).
- CELBAN is a more expensive than IELTS at $375 across Canada (no GST)
Finding a Tutor in Ottawa or Online
It is generally not a problem to get a booking for CELBAN lessons. All CELBAN lessons are 2 hours at $60/hr or $120/lesson and involve a free consultation at the beginning to determine needs and level. The first lesson is payable after the class. After the first class, 4 subsequent classes must be paid in advance.
