Assessment
Assess first, then plan.
We establish your actual second-language level before proposing anything. It is free, it carries no commitment, and nothing is recommended until it is done.
First step
Needs assessment
The gap between where you are and where your position requires you to be is the only thing that determines a sensible pace, format and duration.
Assessing it takes little time; getting it wrong costs months.
What we look at
What the assessment establishes
The assessment covers the skills that matter for your objective: understanding, speaking, reading and writing as your position requires them. You come away with a description of what you already do and what is missing, rather than with a label.
That description is what then sets a pace, a format and a duration. Without it, all that is left is a generic curriculum and the hope that it happens to fit.
How it works
How the assessment works
You get in touch
Tell us your role, your organization if relevant, the target language, and the level you are working toward if you know it.
We arrange the assessment
Online, on Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
You receive your level
Your actual ability in the skills that matter for your objective, described plainly rather than as a single label.
A plan, if you want one
Only then do we propose objectives, format, pace and delivery. You are free to stop at the assessment.
The evaluation and the preparation
We do not administer the Government of Canada's Second Language Evaluation: that is done by the employer.
Preparation focuses on developing the strategies, confidence and language precision needed to approach a language assessment methodically and effectively.
No commitment
Have your level assessed.
Write to us with your objective. The assessment is free and comes before any proposal.
