New Students
All new students must go through the YMCA for testing and registering.
Step 1 -- make the appointment
Call 416 925 5462 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to make an appointment. Appointments are available during the day, in the evenings and on Saturdays. Choose a YMCA location where you can register and take the language assessment test. There are four:
Be sure to tell them which assessment centre you want.
It is very important to come on time.
Also visit YMCA - Assessment Centres for more information.
Step 2 -- test and register
At the YMCA, you will:
- Register (bring your Permanent Resident Card and another piece of identification)
- Take a language assessment test
The person that gives you the test (the Assessor) can give you advice if you need part-time classes or if you prefer another location or if you need child care.
Step 3 - we receive your information
If there is space in a CCLCS classroom, the person at the YMCA will put your name on the class list and you can start right away (they send us the information). If the class is full, your name will go on the waiting list. When there is space, we will contact you.
Returning to LINC
Contact the YMCA LINC-Assessment Centre where you took your language test. If you have not been in LINC for more than 6 months, you will have to do the test again (like a new student). If the class is full, your name will go on the waiting list. When there is space, we will contact you IF THERE ARE NO NEW STUDENTS ON THE LIST.
LINC Transfer
Contact the YMCA LINC-Assessment Centre where you took your language test. If the class is full, your name will go on the waiting list. When there is space, we will contact you IF THERE ARE NO RETURNING STUDENTS ON THE LIST.
