This report outlines a concordance study conducted between the CELPIP General and IELTS General Training tests. CELPIP is the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program General Test. The report presents concordance tables that compare CELPIP and IELTS scores across all test sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing), as well as an overall score comparison.To ensure objectivity, the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) was commissioned to lead the analysis.

This research project was jointly conducted by Prometric and the IELTS Partners: British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

CELPIP
I had taken other English language proficiency before, and CELPIP was more relatable to me. All of the questions were situations I was familiar with from daily life, and were like conversations I had experienced personally.

CELPIP
When I took CELPIP, I found it was like speaking English in real life. You speak every day with your boss and with your friends, and the CELPIP Test represents those every-day, real-life language situations.
