Students who wish to do School of Continuing Studies programs and courses need to have a high level of proficiency in English. When you apply or register, you need to have proof of English proficiency.
As a low-cost alternative to international standardized tests such as the TOEFL or IELTS, the School of Continuing Studies offers the °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê SCS TELP (Test of English Language Proficiency). The purpose of the TELP is to determine if a student’s level of proficiency in English is high enough to start a professional program in the School of Continuing Studies programs. It is not recognized for programs in other faculties at °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê.
If you would like to take English courses, please go to the English programs page.
You will have to complete most of the test using a computer in a computer lab on the 12th floor of the 688 Sherbrooke West building. You may not use a dictionary or mobile device during the test. Your results will be ready four business days after the test, and can be picked up or mailed to you.
The test requires 3-4 hours and consists of five parts:
- Oral Interview with a °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê evaluator
- Listening Comprehension (in a computer lab)
- Written Expression (in a computer lab)
- Grammatical Structures (in a computer lab)
- Reading Comprehension (in a computer lab)

Your test results will be sent to you by email four business days after the test takes place.
Category A - You obtained a result of 80% or higher – you don’t need to take any further English courses before starting your professional program.
