For admissions triage, pathway and foundation programmes, and placement, institutions need a reliable, comparable English measure they control. An in-house CEFR test lets your team screen applicants quickly and stream pathway students accurately — without waiting on external processes.
This is a screening and placement tool for institutional use, not a replacement for the formal admissions certificates your programme may require. Use it to triage, place and shortlist on a consistent CEFR scale.
Screen applicants and pathway students
Assess all four skills against the CEFR (A1–C2) to triage applications, place pathway and foundation students, and identify who needs additional language support — all on one comparable scale.
