Frequently asked questions

9. What is my level of English?

See our English levels page for a full explanation of English levels, and equivalent IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL scores.

Please take our online English test for a rough idea of your level. There are five sections and each section is roughly equivalent to one level (Elementary to Advanced).

Or why not contact us for a chat? We are happy to advise you on the best course for your needs.

There is no need to worry about your level, however. All students are tested on the first day at Embassy CES, and placed in the class most suitable for their level of fluency and knowledge of grammar. Your teacher will assess your progress regularly and movements between classes will be made in consultation with him or her.
