Certified results are available within 48 hours of the test session.

The following are accepted:

All documents submitted must be official. Brandon University will accept documents that have been sent from the granting institution only.  The only exception is TOEFL which may be sent electronically directly through TOEFL (ETS).

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Program

EAP is primarily for students who are preparing to enter English-speaking post-secondary educational institutions and need to improve their English skills to university-level fluency.

EAP is also designed for those people who want to improve their use of English as a second language for professional or personal purposes.

Some knowledge of the English language is required before students are accepted into the EAP program. Generally, high school English is required.
