This practical English test measures how you use English, apply grammar rules, and have a good English vocabulary. The Common European Framework of Reference defines six levels — from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficient).
English Levels
A1 Beginner English is the entry-level CEFR rating. At A1 you can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases — introducing yourself, asking for personal details, and engaging in simple, slow conversation when the other person speaks clearly.
A2 Elementary English covers sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of immediate relevance — basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, and employment. You can communicate in simple, routine tasks on familiar topics.
B1 Intermediate English is the independent-user threshold. You can deal with most situations while travelling, produce simple connected text on familiar topics, and describe experiences, events, dreams and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions.
B2 Upper-Intermediate English is widely used as a workplace and university benchmark. You can understand the main ideas of complex text, interact with native speakers without strain on either side, and produce clear, detailed text on a range of subjects.
C1 Advanced English signals fluent, flexible English suitable for academic, professional and social use. You can express ideas fluently and spontaneously, use the language for complex purposes, and produce well-structured, detailed text on intricate subjects.
C2 Proficient English reflects near-native command. You understand virtually everything heard or read, summarise information from different sources, and express yourself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely — even in the most complex situations.
Receive a personalised, CEFR-aligned English certificate the moment you finish the test. Download as PDF, share on LinkedIn, attach to job and university applications — all from £15.99.

Test your English level A1, A2, B1, B2 refers to assessing your proficiency in the English language based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels.
The English Level Test with Certificate is an online assessment that produces an immediate, CEFR-aligned certificate (A1–C2) on completion. Issued by International Test Limited (UK), an Associate Member of ALTE, the certificate is recognised by employers, universities and visa officers in 210+ countries.
The standard English Level Test costs £15.99. Optional verification add-ons are available — 2 years (£3.99) or lifetime (£4.99) — extending the period during which employers and institutions can verify the certificate online via its unique QR code.
The test takes around 30 minutes and contains 60 questions covering grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening. Results and the verified PDF certificate are available instantly — no booking, no waiting period.
A Proficient English Test (CEFR C2) is designed for test-takers with near-native command of English. The IET C2 certificate confirms a high level of fluency, comprehension and accuracy across grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening. C2 is the highest CEFR level and signifies that the test-taker can understand virtually anything heard or read in English.
Englishscore is a mobile English test by the British Council. International English Test (IET) provides an online alternative — affordable, instant, and CEFR-aligned. While both deliver English-language certification, IET focuses on a 30-minute browser-based test with an immediate downloadable certificate from £15.99.
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) describes language proficiency on six levels: A1 (Beginner), A2 (Elementary), B1 (Intermediate), B2 (Upper-Intermediate), C1 (Advanced), and C2 (Proficient).
CEFR is used worldwide by employers, universities and immigration authorities as the single, comparable standard for English ability. The IET English Level Test produces a CEFR-aligned result — making your certificate universally interpretable.
Language proficiency levels follow the CEFR framework. Each level describes specific competencies — from understanding simple greetings (A1) to handling complex academic and professional discourse (C2). Aligning your certificate with CEFR makes your English ability comparable across borders, industries and institutions.
Listing language skills on your CV with a CEFR level (e.g. "English: B2 — IET certified") is more credible than vague labels like "fluent" or "intermediate." A verified CEFR certificate gives recruiters something objective to compare. Pair the level with a verification link or QR scan for the strongest signal.

IET A2 is widely used to evidence basic competence on CVs and immigration forms.
The B1 English Level Test confirms intermediate English.
