Common European Framework of Reference for the English Language
It is possible to study a foreign language at any age, regardless of your current level of ability. We will be glad to help you in this pursuit and offer you an individual consultation. Before you apply for a course, we have to know your current level of English in order to recommend you a suitable course. An assessment test will be given which can determine your approximate level of English.
The test has 60 questions which gradually get more difficult. Your level will be determined by the number of correct answers you have.
