English Assessment for Employees


This test is based on internationally recognized testing systems (Cambridge and IELTS). In a short period of time (one morning or afternoon plus a 25-minute oral exam), you gain insight into your speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. The test is administered by the Language Center. There are tests for a number of different target groups.


It is possible to get an exemption for the English Language Assessment should you have another indication of your level of English. You can contact Linda Mous for advice. However, the policy decided on in your department will grant you an exemption or not.
