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.

CEFR ladder from A1 to C2: an example employee is currently at B1, the role target is B2, and the step between them is the gap to close with training. A1A2B1B2C1C2CurrentRole targetBasicIndependentProficientA target level for each role
  1. Four skills, not one score

    Speaking, writing, reading and listening are measured separately, because roles use them differently.

  2. A target for each role

    Each role gets its own target CEFR level, never one cutoff for every role.

  3. The right test for the purpose

    Quick screening, four-skills assessment or certification, chosen for the decision at hand.

  4. Results that lead to learning

    Every gap points to the right English training level, with reassessment to show progress.

Edstellar English proficiency assessments that make communication a clear standard.

Edstellar’s English proficiency assessments give hiring managers, HR and L&D a consistent view of English ability on CEFR levels, so hiring, mobility and training decisions rest on verified evidence.

  1. Hire with confidence for customer-facing roles

    Pre-employment English tests verify spoken and written English before an offer, including for customer support and BPO roles, against the level the role needs.

Proven English proficiency tests, chosen for each decision.
