Linguaskill exams

Linguaskill is a modular online test which assesses all four language skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. You can take the test for each of these skills separately. This gives you choice about the skills you want to assess.

Two versions of the test are available: Linguaskill General and Linguaskill Business. This gives you the ability to choose the sort of language that will be tested, based on your objectives.

Linguaskill

Linguaskill tests language used in daily life, making it ideal for university admission or exit, and recruitment for roles in a non-business-specific environment. For example, where an employee needs strong English skills to perform their role effectively, but will not need specialist business terminology.

This makes the test suitable for a broad spectrum of organisations. Test topics include studying and working, making future plans, travel and technology.

Linguaskill Business

Linguaskill Business tests English used in a business and corporate setting. It is most suitable for recruitment in organisations where employees are expected to be familiar with the language of business.

It is suitable for large or small organisations, which may be operating on an international level. Test topics include buying and selling products or services, the office, business travel and human resources.

An average Cambridge English Scale score and associated CEFR level will be provided.  There is also an explanation of what each score means in terms of English language ability so candidates are able to see where they have performed well, and where they may need to improve.
