How to apply for a Private Sitting?

1) Arrange for a Test Supervisor

The Test Supervisor must be a high school or college principal, a vice-principal, a university professor, or a counsellor from guidance/student services. Tell your chosen Supervisor that the LPI is a 2½-hour written test that can be administered at a time suitable to both of you. If the Supervisor charges for supervision services, it is your responsibility to pay the fee.

Supervisors must mail, fax or email a letter to the LPI Office on their official school letterhead stating that they are willing to supervise your test. They must provide your name and their institution’s street address because the test will be delivered directly to your Test Supervisor by express post or courier.

2) Submit the LPI Private Sitting Application Form to the LPI Office

The LPI Office will review your applications and email you within 2-3 business days.

Important Notes:

• The results of tests administered by private sitting are subject to verification by re-test (no charge for the first re-test) at the discretion of the LPI Test Security Committee.
• The results of a private sitting may take between 2-6 weeks to become available from the time the test is received at the LPI Office from the Supervisor.
