Benchmark English proficiency with confidence through CEFR assessments delivered by EnglishCoach in partnership with Cambridge Assessment English, a department of the University of Cambridge, U.K.
This partnership enables employers, L&D teams, and institutions to make better decisions in recruiting and hiring, training design, learning pathways, cohort identification and language development needs.
The Cambridge English Placement Test is a reliable and validated English proficiency assessment that is easy to administer in any part of the world.
The English Placement Test by Cambridge Assessment English is a computer-based online placement test used to identify a learner’s current level of English quickly and accurately.
This CEFR-aligned English proficiency test evaluates Reading and Listening Skills along with English usage, language and vocabulary.
Results are delivered in 24-hours with a CEFR level assigned to each learner.
This proficiency assessment is especially useful when organisations need a standardised and efficient method for benchmarking English proficiency across individuals or large cohorts.
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, or CEFR, is an international standard used to describe language ability.
It uses a six-point scale that helps employers, educators, and learners understand what a person “Can-Do” in English at different stages of proficiency.
Organisations use English level testing for employees in several practical and high-value ways.
Typical use cases include:
Recruitment screening for roles where English proficiency matters
Identifying training needs before programme rollout
Grouping learners by current English level
Creating CEFR-aligned learning pathways
Benchmarking English proficiency across teams or cohorts
Supporting L&D decisions with standardised assessment data
CEPT is designed to make English level assessment straightforward, scalable, and dependable for organisations.

At EnglishCoach, we do not treat assessment as a standalone event. We use assessment data to help organisations make smarter learning decisions.
This includes identifying who needs support, determining the right starting level, and shaping training pathways that are more targeted and effective.
When assessment is linked to programme design, organisations gain greater clarity on who needs what kind of intervention and why.
