Ready to set a clear English standard for every role?
Trusted by teams at
English proficiency measured on one clear scale.
An English proficiency assessment, also called an English language assessment or language proficiency test, measures how well people use English at work, across speaking, writing, reading and listening. Edstellar reports results on CEFR levels, from A1 to C2, and sets a target level for each role, around four principles.
Four skills, not one score
Speaking, writing, reading and listening are measured separately, because roles use them differently.
A target for each role
Each role gets its own target CEFR level, never one cutoff for every role.
The right test for the purpose
Quick screening, four-skills assessment or certification, chosen for the decision at hand.
Results that lead to learning
Every gap points to the right English training level, with reassessment to show progress.

English proficiency assessment FAQs.
An English proficiency assessment, sometimes called an English skills assessment, measures how well a person uses English at work across speaking, writing, reading and listening. Edstellar reports results on CEFR levels and compares them with the target level each role needs, for hiring, mobility and training decisions.
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) describes language ability on six levels, from A1 for beginners to C2 for highly proficient users. Edstellar uses CEFR levels to set role targets and to report results consistently.
Depending on the decision, Edstellar uses Aptis and EnglishScore for four-skills assessment, Versant as an English speaking test for spoken screening, IELTS where an internationally recognized certificate is needed, and the Foundation English Test as a baseline diagnostic.
Edstellar looks at how each role uses English, for example customer support calls, written reports or global meetings, and sets a target CEFR level for the skills that matter most. Each role gets its own target, never one cutoff for all roles.
Yes. English proficiency screening with tests such as Versant, EnglishScore and Aptis supports hiring for customer-facing and global roles, with thresholds calibrated for each role and used alongside interviews and other evidence.
Yes. Each online English test or English language assessment runs across locations with secure remote delivery, so large and distributed groups can be assessed to one standard.
Learners take an English placement test or English skills assessment before training to set a baseline and again afterwards, so progress is shown by skill and CEFR level.
Edstellar sets role-specific targets, reviews spoken scoring for fairness across accents, keeps baseline tests low-stakes and arranges accommodations where required. English results are combined with other evidence for important decisions.
Test length depends on the test and the skills measured, and is agreed at scoping. Most programs move from kickoff to results in about four weeks.
Test data is collected only for the agreed purpose, access is limited to agreed stakeholders, and reports are shared under the confidentiality terms set at scoping. Edstellar holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management.
Cost depends on the number of people, the tests and skills measured, whether certification is needed, and how much reporting and placement support you need. Edstellar scopes each program before quoting, so you pay only for what your decision requires.
