Language Assessment

It is often difficult, even for a competent speaker of a foreign language, to assess the expertise of job applicants for instance.  If you are employing personnel where knowledge of a foreign language is -or could be- important, then we can offer an in-depth assessment.

This assessment can be carried out as part of your recruitment interview, or as a separate testing.  We can also do our assessment over the telephone, when the candidate to be interviewed is in a foreign country or too far away to logistically arrange a face to face interview.

We can test in many languages, and we provide the flexibility to focus on the communication skills that matter most to your company.  With your input, we will design each test to focus on the specific skills required for day-to-day exchanges between employees and clients. The content will encompass tasks and texts that reflect the communicative activities that must be mastered so that jobs can be executed effectively. These can include:

• Writing Skills (e.g. e-mail and reports);
• Reading Comprehension Skills;
• Written Translation Skills (from one language to another);
• Oral Translation Skills;
• Use of Industry Specific Terminology.

Time required

The assessment will take approximately 45 minutes, and you can have the written comments on your desk within minutes after the assessment has taken place.
