English Assessment: Not assessedby the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)*
Recommendation: There is no minimum Canadian Language Benchmark level required for millwrights in Manitoba, but you must have sufficient language skills to function fully and advance in this trade.
For more information on language assessment services, see Learn English in USEFUL LINKS.
*Note: The CLB is used across Canada as the basis for language assessment and teaching. In Manitoba, all the government-funded Adult English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs use the CLB. Some post-secondary educational institutions such as Red River College also recognize CLB test results for program admission.
The Apprenticeship Branch tries to accommodate special needs. If English is not your first language, you may ask permission to use a translator, a reader, or a language dictionary. You may also request more time to write the exam. For more information, see Work in your trade in Manitoba in USEFUL LINKS.
