Learn more about CEFR

Your test results will indicate your CEFR level. What does CEFR mean and how can it help you progress in your language learning journey? The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an internationally recognised standard for measuring language proficiency. Developed by the Council of Europe, it offers a clear, objective framework to assess and compare language skills across different languages. CEFR spans six levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient), covering listening, reading, speaking, and writing. This makes it a valuable tool for learners, educators, and employers alike.
