What We Offer 

Our spoken language assessments are designed to measure how confidently and accurately someone can communicate in another language - in real-world situations.  
 
All our assessments are completed by qualified linguists and are focused on listening, speaking and practical communication skills.

Our Two Flexible Assessment Options 

Pre-Recorded Assessment 

You send us a recorded response from your candidate, and one of our linguists listens, reviews and provides detailed feedback on fluency, clarity, pronunciation and understanding. 

Live-Call Assessment 

A real-time assessment held over Teams or telephone. The assessor interacts directly with the candidate, using either your scenario, one of ours, or a bespoke scenario we create together. 
 
Every assessment is carried out by a qualified interpreter (Community Interpreting Level 3+) and comes with a clear feedback report that reflects the candidate’s proficiency level.
