English Language Competency for Practice  

English Language Policy


As of December 2010, Council has approved assessment of English Language Competence for Practice through evaluation of:

  • An essay written with the Professional Practice Examination Essay
  • Comments of referees; and
  • Observations of interviewers (if an interview is required).

Beginning with the January 2012 session, ALL candidates writing the Professional Practice Examination are required to complete the one hour essay section in addition to the two hour multiple-choice section.


Text Box: Note: The one hour Professional Practice Exam essay involves being required to select one out of three topics to develop into a written answer. You will be graded on your level of comprehension of what the topic is asking as well as your ability to communicate your response in writing. There is no additional cost for writing the essay.
