Placement Test for New Students
Find your level with a Complete Assessment + a 15’ speaking interview
Service Description
This placement test is designed for new students of European or Brazilian Portuguese who already have some prior experience with the language and wish to assess their current level within the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The test will assess your current knowledge through a written and listening component, followed by a 15-minute live session online to check your speaking skills. You will then receive a clear indication of your level (A1–B1 or higher) and advice on the most suitable next steps — whether general lessons or exam preparation (GCSE, CIPLE, DEPLE). Once payment is confirmed, you will receive by email the links to complete the written and listening components. The 15-minute speaking session can be booked separately at your convenience through the online calendar, allowing you to choose the best day and time. A full detailed report with your results and personalised recommendations will be sent within 48 hours after all parts of the test are completed. Cost: £45 (includes test + 15-minute session) Format: online, flexible, easy to complete Benefit: ensures your lessons are tailored to your needs right from the start Booking the placement test is the best way to begin your Portuguese journey with confidence and a clear learning plan.
