LINGOIST OS

Program Overview

LINGOIST OS is a 12-week protocol designed for professionals preparing for the CELPIP exam. After the main protocol, there is a follow-up phase to further support you.It is built for those who already produce strong English but cannot yet produce it reliably under exam conditions.On this page, you’ll find details about what’s included, who leads each part, the cost, and the terms.

What we work on

Lingoist OS works on developing the features of high-level English that hold up under pressure: the precise word instead of the nearly-right one, the complex sentence that survives the timer, the answer that comes out organized rather than shapeless. The work is to produce reliable English under exam conditions, on every task the CELPIP test covers.Please note: We do not predict or guarantee a band score. Only Paragon Testing Enterprises can score the CELPIP. Our focus is on how well your English performs when you’re under time pressure.

The shape

The protocol has two phases.
Phase one is a twelve-week intensive that includes three live rooms, daily practice, and production work. It runs from September 14 to December 11, 2026.*Phase two is a six-month follow-up that starts automatically and is included at no extra cost. It continues until June 11, 2027.*For the founding cohort, the start date may be moved once, and to no later than October 12, 2026, and only to let the founding group form properly. If it moves, you're notified by email at least 7 days beforehand. The whole schedule shifts with it, so nothing is shortened, and you may withdraw for a full refund. Your 14-day refund window is unaffected either way.You can find our full terms in our Terms & Conditions.

What's included

The four tracks: Speaking, Writing, Listening, Reading.
There is one track for each part of the exam. Every band-9 skill is built using a five-step process: first, it’s explained, then made intuitive with a mental model, practiced in your own work, tested under timed conditions, and finally anchored with a physical trigger to help you use it under real pressure. Materials are released in a set order over twelve weeks, giving each skill enough time and repetition to become automatic. Speaking and Writing require the most practice. Listening and Reading focus on correction strategies, teaching you to double-check answers rather than just picking what looks right under time pressure.Room 1: The Alignment Pod.
This is the main part of the protocol. It meets for 1 hour each week with 6 participants and your Protocol Lead, a CELPIP specialist who reviews your work as you create it and provides real-time feedback against the band-9 standard we aim for. The working group is small enough for your Lead to give close attention, but large enough for you to learn from others. The purpose is to stop working alone and join a select group of other professionals facing the same exam and challenges.Room 2: The Precision Labs.
There are two live sessions each week for the whole cohort, led by a Protocol Lead. In these working sessions, you practice a band-9 skill under timed conditions, focusing on what the cohort needs most that week. You can ask questions live, and both sessions are recorded.Room 3: The Somatic Roundtable.
Each week, you’ll have an hour with the Performance Regulation Specialist, who focuses on helping you manage stress and stay calm under pressure. This session gives you tools to perform at your best during the exam.


The Weekly Production Reps.
Each week, you’ll create timed responses and score them yourself using a band-9 checklist. For Speaking and Writing, you’ll track how much of your work meets the checklist. Reading and Listening are measured separately, based on how accurate your answers are for each question type. These two sets of results are kept separate.The two Checkpoint Audits.
You’ll do fully timed exam simulations in all four skills at week 6 and week 12. Independent reviewers assess your responses against the band-9 features we train, so you get an outside read on what holds up under pressure and what doesn't, at the midpoint and the end.


The Spine.
The Spine consists of two tools that support the rest of the protocol.First, there are the Calibration Sequences—three short audio routines to support you at different points in your day. The Somatic Future Anchor, which you use each morning, helps you start the day calm and focused by picturing life after the exam. The Daily Closure, at night, helps you unwind, clear your mind, and get restful sleep so your practice really settles in. And for those stressful moments—right before an important meeting, a live session, or the exam itself—the Friction Intercept guides you through simple steps to steady your nerves and lower your heart rate so you can perform at your best.The second tool is the Precision Lexicon Engine, which helps you remember and use word combinations that make your English more precise. Each day, you practice a set of these combinations and use them in your own sentences, so you move from just recognizing them to actually using them under pressure.The Pre-Protocol Period.
You get access as soon as you enroll, even before the cohort starts. The Spine tools are available first to help you settle your nerves before starting the language work. This period also contains your full 14-day refund window, which runs from the day you enroll. Enrollment closes early enough that your window ends before the intensive begins, and if the start date is moved, your window still runs from your own enrollment date, unchanged. For more information, please check our Refund Policy.Continuity, through June 11, 2027.
After the twelve-week protocol ends, the next phase starts automatically and is included in your fee. You keep access to all materials, the Precision Lexicon Engine, and recordings of the Precision Labs.Each month, you’re invited to join a live Continuity Room with a Protocol Lead. These sessions help you maintain your skills and choose the best time to schedule your exam. The more intensive sessions—the Alignment Pod, the Precision Labs, and the Somatic Roundtable—are only part of the twelve-week protocol.

Who this is for

This first cohort is open to Latin American professionals in Canada who are preparing for the CELPIP. We’re keeping the founding group to one region on purpose, so everyone shares a similar path and the protocol can go deep instead of wide.If you’re from another region, you’re not left out. The next cohort opens worldwide, and strong candidates will get priority. You can still complete the Audit now, and we’ll keep you updated on what comes next.

How you enter

To join the protocol, you’ll complete the Cognitive-Linguistic Audit.It takes about twenty minutes. Willian will review your responses and send you written feedback within five business days.
