Assess Communication Skills in Your Context
EnglishCoach’s custom assessments are designed for organisations and institutions that need a more contextual and role-relevant way to assess English communication skills.
These assessments can be aligned to your workplace, academic setting, or function-specific scenarios so that candidates are evaluated through tasks that reflect the communication demands they are likely to face in real situations.
Built on the CEFR, our assessments can be calibrated across levels and can test proficiency up to C1+. They are also modular, which means organisations can choose to assess one skill, a combination of skills, or the full range of communication skills depending on the purpose of the assessment, whether that is recruitment, role change, learning need identification, or readiness for client-facing responsibilities.
EnglishCoach’s custom assessments are built to combine language accuracy, communication performance, and contextual relevance.
Assessment tasks can be tailored to an organisation’s or institution’s real communication situations, job roles, functions, and industry use cases.
Assessments are mapped to internationally recognised proficiency levels and can be calibrated up to C1+.
Organisations can choose to assess Speaking, Writing, Listening, Reading, or any combination of these skills, including a complete four-skill assessment.
Reports help organisations assess hiring readiness, internal role fit, communication strengths and weaknesses, and learning priorities.
Speaking uses hybrid marking, combining AI-enabled technology with manual evaluation. Writing uses AI-led evaluation. Listening and Reading are assessed through objective-type formats, enabling consistency and efficiency.
EnglishCoach’s current site notes that assessments can be customised for different levels, functions, and industries, including IT, ITeS, manufacturing, banking and finance, insurance, retail, KPO, FMCG, hospitality, and healthcare.
