Placement Test

Before we start the organization of your trainings, we need to carry out 2 level tests (1x written & 1x spoken). These informal level tests give us an idea as to what groups you can be placed into.

Once we have received your written results, our Head Trainer will contact you for the spoken assessment - a short phone call of 5-10 minutes. This will help us to enforce the written level so you can be in the course that matches your level.

You do not need to perform the written assessment if you do not have any prior knowledge of German or English. Please make sure to let us know about this when filling out the registration form.

Test your current language level here.

The CEFR language levels:

The CEFR is a framework for defining linguistic capabilities which enables the most precise possible classification of your own abilities. It also helps to tailor services in the languages sector more accurately to the individual's needs.
