Our high-quality assessments, mapped to the Common European Framework (CEFR) enable learners, at each stage of their journey, to achieve a high quality, internationally recognised qualification at the CEFR level appropriate to them and their educational circumstances, boosting their progression and employability. The CEFR is used all over Europe and internationally as a framework for learning, teaching and assessment. These four qualifications are suitable for learners who wish to improve their level of general English for personal, academic or professional reasons. Learners are assessed in five core language skills; listening, speaking, reading, writing and the use of English – we call this All Modes as we assess all of the skills to create an overall outcome. By giving them the ability to develop these communicative skills, they will be well-equipped with essential life skills and confidence needed to communicate worldwide. Watch them flourish as its impact goes way beyond the classroom!
