Supporting international admissions with a secure, reliable and fit for purpose English test 

LanguageCert Academic is a multilevel English test with enhanced academic focus, offering more choice to undergraduate and postgraduate students who need to provide evidence of language proficiency for admission to higher education. LanguageCert Academic will be fully available worldwide by mid-2023. LanguageCert Academic is developed from the internationally recognised LanguageCert IESOL and represents an evolution of our testing solutions to meet our stakeholders’ needs.

What makes LanguageCert Academic relevant for higher education? 

The contexts focus on language used in an academic environment, with generic academic vocabulary and expressions relevant to most subjects. 
The tasks sample features of language and skills from those required to succeed in an academic setting, e.g., writing essays, giving presentations, note-taking, formulating arguments. 
Academic relevance factsheet  
The test spans the range of CEFR levels that support recognising institutions decide whether a student will be able to cope with academic language requirements at university, i.e., CEFR B1–C2.

Additional benefits to your institution

  • Convenient and accessible testing supported by industry-leading security measures. Our strict security protocols, online and at test centres, throughout the examination process, ensure our tests are fair and deliver genuine results you can trust.
  • Fast results verifiable through our secure verification platform to support application processing and turnaround times on student offers.
  • Use of our extensive partner network to increase and diversify enrollments.
  • Participation in our international scholarship programs.

How is LanguageCert Academic mapped to the CEFR and other tests?

LanguageCert Academic is directly calibrated to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference produced by the Council of Europe. This means that performance on LanguageCert tests is directly comparable to exams from other English language testing organisations. Extensive concordance studies with other tests are currently in progress and will be available later in 2023.

 
 LanguageCert Global Scale CEFR   LanguageCert Academic

The LanguageCert Global Scale is an easy-to-understand results system which reports scores on a 0-100 scale and links to the CEFR. It applies across all the LanguageCert tests and enables the setting of specific levels of attainment needed to fulfil certain requirements such as entrance into a university. The levels of attainment relate to overall test performance and performance by skill (e.g., speaking).

Underpinned by robust research and validation

In order to support the production of high-quality exam materials, LanguageCert makes use of both internal and external research and validation resources. Recent publications of relevance to the validation, reliability, quality and impact of LanguageCert examinations are provided.
