What to expect
Why complete the Triple Track Assessment?
By being assessed for multiple professions at once, you can be registered in one healthcare profession while at the same time completing the requirements to enter practice in another. This expands your career options and helps you find work faster.
Where do I take the triple track SLA assessment?
Your Triple Track SLA will be held at one of the Inspire Global Assessments Assessment Centres, located at Langara College in Vancouver, BC and BCIT in Burnaby, BC
Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment and be dressed in scrubs. Masks are also required.
