After CCLB was made aware that some workplace specific programs rely on CLB 5-10 Exit Assessment Tasks as a component of their language training courses, IRCC approved CCLB to explore an adaptation of this tool for a remote delivery. CCLB completed the adaptation and collaborated with the workplace language training (WLT) program at World Skills Employment Centre in March to pilot the remote option with clients. The pilot showed that the online version was possible to administer, although additional time is required due to the need for it to be administered one-on-one in order to ensure test security.
This online version is now available which facilitators can use with learners as an interim option when face-to-face assessments are not available. Training on the remote version is offered on testing.language.ca via fee-for-service and provides a certificate of completion for 3.5 PD hours.
