Placement Test

Filling out our online placement test gives us the possibility to grade the groups according to the students’ previous knowledge. This ensures that all students work within their abilities and feel comfortable within the group. As a complete beginner you don't have to do the test and will automatically be placed in the beginners group.

Our school offers 5 levels of learning in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
