Why the CELBAN?

The CELBAN is favoured in Canada for two main reasons:
  1.  it is created for nurses,
  2.  it has been created in Canada.

This article explains more.

 

Created for Nurses

Unlike other English exams like the TOEFL, IELTS, MELAB, CAEL, the CELBAN is discipline specific. It is the first of its kind, in Canada, and the success is guiding the creation of other discipline specific English exams. That means there will be others like it in the future.

Being discipline specific is a major advantage for Internationally Educated Nurses: all of the questions, writing assignments, interviews and video clips are about nursing, nurse-patient relationships, and medical information. So you, as an IEN, do not have to study about history or architecture or write essays on the pros and cons of a controversial topic. You get to talk, write, read and listen to things about nursing!

The benefit of taking the CELBAN is that because it is about familiar topics it decreases the potential level of stress you feel: allowing you to be calm and confident. The CELBAN really is the easiest English exam for Internationally Educated Nurses in Canada.

 Created for Canada

Having a test created in Canada by Canadians, for IENs wanting to live and work in Canada is another huge benefit of the CELBAN.

Did you know that one of the other English exams was created by a team of Chinese people using old more formal English? It is hard to believe and understand! Where an exam created by the British Council adds credibility, it is not necessarily the best for international nurses in Canada.

Embedded in the CELBAN is Canadian Nursing Culture, not the culture of another society. Knowing that this may be difficult for some IENs from different parts of the world, CELBANPrep teaches you how to think like a Canadian Nurse. In doing so early, you are also using time effectively in preparing for the CRNE, the Canadian Registered Nurse Exam. You can start your studies now!

For this reason preparing through CELBANPrep really is the best choice for Internationally Educated Nurses in Canada.
