The CAEL is a computer-based test. It is divided into two parts: written and spoken English. The
written test includes reading, listening and writing. The oral test is about 25 minutes. CAEL
supports online exams, so students can take the exam at home. In addition to local test sites in
Canada, CAEL can be taken in China. There are also test centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou
and Hong Kong.
