Test your English now and find out which language course suits you

Not sure what level your English is at? Then our free online English placement test will help! A test helps you determine your approximate level of English based on your knowledge of English grammar, your vocabulary and your English in everyday situations. However, it cannot replace a full placement test with a written and an oral part, so our online English placement test only gives a rough assessment.
