CELBANPrep University: What Is What?

What is the difference between a centre, a bundle, and a course? 

The CELBANPrep University structure.

CELBANPrep University is an app-based virtual campus with 3 bundles corresponding to 3 centres: The Information Centre, the Resource Centre, and the Learning Center. Information, resources, and courses are offered. (This site explains what comes with each bundle, in each virtual location.) All of our material is associated with the 4 workplace communication skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.   These Skill Development Areas focus mainly on the Canadian Language Benchmarks Stage. II (CLB 5-8) and Stage III (9-10). The following diagram illustrates the relationships:

Skills Development Areas

1. 1. 1. Silver is the bundle. Resource Centre is the centre. Reading is the skill area. Reading Essentials is the course.
      2. GOLD is the bundle. Learning Centre is the centre. Writing is the skill area. Wonderful Writing is the course.

So... 

1. CELBANPrep University is the learning environment.

2. Information Centre is the Bronze-level orientation and self-evaluation environment.

3. Resource Centre is the Silver-level skill-development environment.

4. Learning Centre is the Gold-level professional-development environment.

5. Bronze, Silver, and Gold are bundles.

6. Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking are skill areas.

7. Reading Essentials, Writing Essentials, Listening Essentials, and Speaking Essentials are Silver online courses.

8. WW (Wonderful Writing), E2Q (Essential EQ), and C3 (Canadian Communication and Culture) are Gold online courses.

9. Books are publications available internationally through Amazon and described more fully at www.CELBAN.biz.

10. Coaching is an optional additional service, consistent with the CELBANPrep Compassionate Pricing Policy .

11. Student Advisory and Onboarding is enrollment support.

Key Concepts

• Bronze ≠ CELBAN course
• Reading ≠ Reading Essentials
• Book ≠ Online Course
• Student advisory ≠ Coaching
• Learning period ≠ Access period
• Silver ≠ Gold

⚠️ Legacy Written Content

The "Legacy University Access Model" is no longer the current bundle structure.

For example, old references to:

• Open students

• monthly subscriptions

• Resource + Learning Centre access through subscription

As of 2022, subscriptions are no longer offered. 

As a result of so many people coming to Kim saying, "There are no CELBAN preparation resources or material available," and "I could not find any CELBAN Preparation material, the "Open Student" program has been transformed into the Bronze Bundle (Information Centre) that is now available as a FREE Virtual Tour 

So, CELBANPrep Bronze was previously offered as a paid bundle. CELBANPrep has reopened the Information Centre as a free resource to make orientation and self-evaluation more accessible.

Due to popular demand... what once lived behind a paywall is now offered freely because we believe that essential guidance should never be hidden when your future is at stake.

Bronze Bundle = Information Centre = FREE

Several videos describe an earlier CELBANPrep University access model. Updated information is provided on the current Fees & Schedules page.
