Levels & Testing

Active English Academy adheres to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe. This framework is designed to assess learners’ general language competence and enable course designers and tutors to determine learners’ levels of proficiency, prepare language learning programmes and assess learners’ progress.

The amount of time and training required to go from one level to the next varies according to the learner’s aptitude, motivation and prior language knowledge.

At Active English Academy, we make sure our learners are regularly updated on their progress and are advised on how to maximise the benefits of their course.
