All applicants, regardless of their citizenship status or country of origin, must demonstrate an appropriate level of language proficiency.\nWhat should language proficiency requirements include?\nFor Class A and Class B career programs, an institution must use at least one of the following options as a language proficiency statement and may use additional options that establish an equal or higher standard.\nBased on a review of the curriculum, resources and learning objectives, the Registrar may determine that the minimum standards noted below are not sufficient and require a higher language proficiency requirement for entry into a program.\nExceptions:\nWhile PTIRU anticipates exceptions to be a rare occurrence, in circumstances where students would not need to meet the standards above to be successful in the program, alternatives to the standards may be considered by the Registrar for specified programs if the program is intended to assist students with barriers and there is sufficient support for language development within the program curriculum.\nExceptions may also be requested for publicly-funded programs.\nInstitutions may make proposals for specific programs by submitting an LPR Assessment form. Assessment forms must be accompanied by an Application – New Program or Application – Program Change, as applicable. The Registrar will consider these proposals on a program-by-program basis.\nApplications accompanied by exception requests to the established LPRs will inherently take longer to be reviewed by PTIRU. Institutions may not proceed with their proposed assessment option until approved by the Registrar.\nSample language proficiency requirements policy\nBelow is an example of an LPR policy where English is the program’s language of instruction:\nStandardized English language test/assessments\nThe Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU) considers the following standardized English language test/assessment scores to be at a level equivalent to IELTS 5.5 (academic).\nInstitutions are not permitted to use language tests/assessments that they developed (in-house language assessments) as part of an LPR.\n*Please note that the tests/assessments listed in this chart have varied designs, testing methods, and scoring. This reference chart is not intended to be used for official English language proficiency test score comparison purposes.  The tests and minimum scores included in this list will be reviewed periodically and updated to ensure they are meeting the minimum standard.\nOther test considerations:\nPTIRU recognizes that there
