Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) plays a central role in language and

education policy, not only within Europe, but worldwide. It has growing relevance for language testers and

examination boards, helping to define language proficiency levels and interpret language qualifications.

Describing levels of language ability

The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of levels from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have

mastered a language. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing (learners,

teachers, teacher trainers, etc.) to see the level of different qualifications. It also means that employers and

educational institutions can easily compare qualifications and see how they relate to exams they already know in

their own country.

All of our examinations are aligned with the levels described by the CEFR.
