Accurate test results that companies can trust
inlingua Léman clients often book the Linguaskill test as part of a package combining training and testing. This allows them to measure the progress of their employees as well as the effectiveness of the English courses they have chosen. They can then adapt their planning for future employee training accordingly. Linguaskill has been extensively researched and trialled by speakers of over 40 languages from 50 countries to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. What’s more, results are provided instantly for Reading and Listening, and within 48 hours for all skills. Their clients receive a computer-generated Test Report, so they don’t have to wait for printed certificates or other documents.
Flexible test options and modules
Linguaskill can test the English level of individuals or groups of candidates. Individual clients, who can take the test at inlingua Léman at any time, are usually looking for proof of their English skills for job applications with potential employers. Thierry explains: ‘Candidates appreciate that they can choose and combine the three available test modules – Reading and Listening, Writing, and Speaking – freely, depending on their job profile. For example, one of our customers, a sales consultant working in the luxury car industry, took just the Speaking module to have his oral English skills certified.’ For added flexibility, two test options are available, Linguaskill General and Linguaskill Business, depending on whether the job role requires everyday English or English used in a business and corporate setting.
Straightforward test administration
‘As the Linguaskill test is developed by Cambridge English, part of the University of Cambridge, our clients’ confidence in the quality of the test is very high’
inlingua Léman can easily administer and invigilate Linguaskill tests at their own centres, at a time that suits both them and their clients. All they need is a computer, an internet connection, a microphone and headphones. ‘The implementation of the test is easy and efficient thanks to the stability and ease of use of the platform,’ says Thierry. ‘New staff can administer the test quickly and easily without the need for in-depth training.’ inlingua works with Swiss Exams – an authorised Linguaskill agent that distributes the test in Switzerland – to administer the test. He adds: ‘Thanks to Cambridge English’s local distribution network it is easy to work with a competent partner in your region. In short, Linguaskill is the simplest and most practical solution on the market to offer our customers a globally recognised and yet affordable English language certificate.’
