What you get
A real course, not a pile of tips
Structured lessons that take you from how the test works to a graded answer on every task.
All 8 speaking tasks
A dedicated unit for every CELPIP speaking task, from giving advice to describing an unusual situation. Nothing on the test is left uncovered.
The real 4-dimension scoring
Learn exactly how raters score you: Content and Coherence, Vocabulary, Listenability, and Task Fulfillment. Stop guessing what actually moves your band.
A named template, plus band 9+
Each task gets a simple frame you can lean on under pressure, then the habits that make it sound natural instead of memorized. That is the jump from Level 8 to 9.
Every task ends in a graded answer
You finish each unit by recording a real answer to a live prompt. Our AI grades it on the four dimensions and shows you exactly what to fix.
Full syllabus
Everything inside the CELPIP Speaking course
