The assessment includes an individual speaking interview and a one-hour invigilated academic writing task. Dictionaries and other language aids are not permitted. The assessment is designed for all students, regardless of first language, educational or professional background, and more.
Please note: Your results indicate the course(s) / level(s) at which you have been assessed. For example, a result of COM101 means you are eligible to enrol in COM101.
This ESL chart shows the courses you need to complete in order to progress through the different levels available at Seneca.
