Linguaskill
Simplify your English language testing
Linguaskill is a quick and convenient online test to help organisations check the English levels of individuals and groups of candidates. You can use one test for everyone, of all abilities.
It’s fast and accurate, and can be easily administered and invigilated at your own venue at a time that suits you.
It provides accurate results within 48 hours, with clear individual Test Reports and Group
Reports. Results are mapped to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the international standard for describing language ability. Linguaskill also reports on the Cambridge English Scale to provide a more detailed understanding
of performance.
The test is modular, so you can choose which combination of language skills is right for your organisation. The Reading and Listening module is adaptive: questions become easier or more difficult depending on an individual’s previous answer.
All you need to run the test is a computer, an internet connection, a microphone and a set of headphones.
