TSE (Tests of Spoken English):

GED Achievement (together with TEST Achievement) has for several years been involved in helping foreign-trained professionals to achieve their required TSE scores for entrance to the appropriate Canadian university or other institution, as required, to obtain the right to practice their profession in Canada.

In 2002/03 the Ontario Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities funded GED Achievement to do a revision and upgrading of our TSE program and to ‘pilot’ it with foreign-trained health care professionals at The Michener Institute of Health Sciences. Our program is continually revised as the TSE is changed to meet current needs in Canada and the USA.

Our program is usually run in the Toronto area on Saturdays over a two month period. Individual practice and scoring to TSE standards is a feature of our program.

There is a possibility that the fees for the 2003/04 winter programs will be reduced by a government grant. Call 1-800-618-6918.

GEDA Consulting:

The principals and associates of GED Achievement and GEDA Consulting have had much administrative and executive experience in both public and private sectors.

In recent years we have consulted to The Toronto District School Board and various training organizations and private schools. A number of projects have been funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities and Human Resources Development Canada.

OSTD principles and standards have guided our projects that range from education and employment-related thinking/problem/solving practice and assessment, to professional driver standards (truck and bus), and training standards and program guidelines for professional driver training programs.

We have had contract relationships with dozens of Canadian and multinational corporations (Boeing, Molson, Magna, Kraft, etc.) and have ongoing and contractual relationships with the City of Toronto (OW/Social Services), the Toronto District School Board and other regional municipalities and school boards from Niagara to York Region.
