How do I measure my current language ability?

We are only asking you to give an indication of your current language ability when you enrol.

Once you are booked onto a language course the college will either send you a linguistic questionnaire via CESA or wait until you arrive at the college and assess your level on the first day of lessons. Only after this will they place you in a group, with other students of similar language ability as yourself.

Check out Your Ability, for a break down of langauge ability from beginner to advanced. Each college has their own way of defining the various language levels (but broadly speaking they comply with the examples given).

If you still feel unsure, talk to us. We are here to help.
