Testing services
Online Testing
The online test is a timed, computerised assessment accessed through our online learning platform. It is designed to evaluate the use of grammatical structures, as well as active and passive vocabulary. Developed by BBi’s pedagogical team, the test closely aligns with European Language Certifications, such as the First Certificate and DALF. The results are instant and provide a detailed profile of the candidate’s skills in grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
Interview
The oral level assessment is conducted through a virtual or in-person interview, during which the candidate is asked open-ended, guided questions by the examiner to assess their language proficiency. This assessment enables us to thoroughly evaluate the candidate’s oral interaction skills, listening comprehension, and oral production abilities, providing a comprehensive analysis of their spoken language proficiency.
Writing Test
The written level assessment is carried out in a controlled, timed environment, either virtually or in person, using our online learning platform. The topic is tailored to the candidate’s level and sector. The results offer valuable insights into their written comprehension and expression skills, pinpointing specific areas of strength and weakness.
Reading Test
The comprehension test is designed to assess the level of proficiency in a particular language by asking the candidate to respond to a specific scenario that reflects real-world situations. This assessment is timed, and is easily accessible on our online learning platform. By evaluating how well the candidate understands and reacts to the scenario, the test provides valuable insights into their language skills and comprehension abilities.
