To assess your level of proficiency before you start a Berlitz program, we conduct a general Berlitz language proficiency exam – online, orally, or both. This helps us – and you – see which course is best for you. Are you interested in testing your current level or proficiency independently of a Berlitz language course? Would you like to prepare for an external language exam? We’ve got you covered for this too.
The free Berlitz online language placement test gives you an idea of your current proficiency level and helps you book the right preparation course or exam. The placement test is available in German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
