WHAT WE OFFER

Achēv is a leader in language assessment and online training.

We provide a range of innovative language services that support newcomers, language learners, assessors, instructors and community partners across Ontario and Canada.

For many immigrants, learning one of Canada’s official languages is essential to their success at work, in school and in their community.

For many, we provide that first important step: a language assessment and referral to English or French classes. If you’re planning to move to Canada or wish to practice your language skills, our online self-assessment provides valuable links and resources.

Not able to attend classes in person? Not a problem. We offer distance education programs including individual weekly lessons with an instructor, assigned work online, and progress reports and certificates.

As a language education leader, we also train assessors and teachers, facilitate language partnership meetings, and contribute to policy and planning on local, provincial and national committees.

SUCCESS STORIES

"LINC Home Study is a significant part of my English improvement. I work from home and not always have an opportunity to speak English. Being able to speak and practice English one-on-one with the teacher, and ask specific questions is very helpful.I think since I am part of the LINC Home Study program, I have expanded my vocabulary and I can express myself more clearly in my everyday life."

Laura D., Saint John, New Brunswick
