Levels

Our Placement Test evaluates English proficiency from complete beginner (Pre A1) through intermediate (B1) levels, covering the full Cambridge English spectrum at these levels. The assessment accurately places students across four key levelsโ€”Pre A1, A1, A2, and B1โ€”through targeted exercises in reading, writing, and listening. Results provide your child’s current proficiency level, along with specific recommendations for their ideal learning path, ensuring they start at exactly the right level for continued growth and success.

๐ŸŒฑ

Pre A1 Level

Pre A1 is the very first step in learning English – it’s designed for complete beginners who have little to no previous exposure to the English language. This level precedes A1 (Beginner) in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is specifically designed for young learners just beginning their English language journey.

Start your child’s English journey today using our Starter Level resources โ†’

The most important thing to remember is that every child learns at their own pace. Pre A1 is not just a starting point – it’s the foundation for all future English learning success!

๐ŸŒฟ

A1 Level

A1 Level is the first major milestone in English learning – students at this level have built a solid foundation of basic English skills and can communicate in simple, predictable situations. Known as “Beginner” level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), A1 learners can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases.

Give your A1 student the support they need to flourish โ†’

A1 level is where the magic of language learning really begins – when children discover they can actually communicate in English!

๐ŸŒณ

A2 Level

A2 Level represents a solid foundation in English – students at this level have moved beyond the very basics and can communicate in simple, everyday situations. Also known as “Elementary” level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), A2 learners can handle familiar topics and routine tasks with growing confidence.

Give your A2 learner the tools to reach the next level โ†’

Success at the A2 level sets the stage for years of confident English learning ahead!

๐Ÿš€

B1 Level

B1 Level represents true independence in English – students at this level can handle most everyday situations confidently and express themselves clearly on familiar topics. Known as “Intermediate” level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), B1 learners can maintain conversations, understand the main ideas in complex texts, and communicate effectively in most real-world situations.

Continue this incredible journey with our Intermediate Level course โ†’

B1 level opens doors – help your child walk through them with confidence!
