Course Assessment

On Student Arrival

On the 1st day of your course you will be asked to take a 45 minute online English Placement Test. This test is will cover reading, writing, speaking and listening, and will enable EF to evaluate the existing level of English of each student. After this test is completed the results will be reviewed, and each student will be individually allocated to the appropriate class level for their abilities.

During the Course

During the course, the student will take a range of ongoing evaluations and tests to assess their level of progress. These will include the following:

• Book Tests

All students will complete a final test prior to their departure. On completion of this test, each student will receive a certificate of completion with EF on their final day, stating their current level of English and a summary of their current level of English abilities.

EFCELT Exams
EF and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations have developed the EF Cambridge English Level Test (EFCELT).

Students who have studied at the school for 4 weeks or more are encouraged to take the EFCELT but this exam is only run on particular dates and is by appointment, not on demand. Without exception, any student who has not achieved a 90% attendance record is not eligible to receive an EFCELT certificate.

Graduation Requirements
Minimum 90% attendance at classes and completion of final English test.
