The situation
Almost every job ad says it; almost no company measures it. The result: hiring on gut feeling, language courses sprayed across the workforce and surprises when the first international client calls.
We measure before you decide, with Linguaskill Business from Cambridge — the same instrument universities and international groups use. The marking is done by Cambridge, not by us.
Applications
HR, recruiting and development ask different questions. Linguaskill answers all three.
Many companies ask for “good English” — and have no idea how good it actually is. A group report makes it visible.
In an interview almost everyone's English sounds fine. Linguaskill shows what is behind it — before you make an offer.
Language courses for everyone are expensive and rarely effective. Measure first and you invest precisely — and can evidence the effect afterwards.
The instrument
Adaptive, modular, fast. The tasks come from working life: emails, reports, meetings, phone calls. Everyone gets their own test, because the difficulty follows their answers.
Shorter and more precise than a fixed questionnaire.
Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking — bookable individually.
Reading and Listening immediately after the test.
Not by us — which is what makes the result independent.
Business levels
Guide values as a starting point. In conversation we compare them with your own role requirements.
Occasional contact: short emails, instructions, simple phone calls.
Daily contact with customers, standard correspondence, phone calls.
Chairing meetings, writing reports, holding technical discussions.
Negotiating, presenting, handling objections — under pressure.
Defending strategy, the board, the media, difficult conversations.
Language is the tool of the trade. Nuance decides.
How it works
Free of charge first

For companies and universities
Official practice tasks in the real Linguaskill format, so participants see in advance how the adaptive test works.
Common questions
From a single person, for example in recruiting. A group report with meaningful statements about teams and sites becomes useful from about five people.
The person you name as our contact receives the reports. Everyone tested receives their own individual report. We never pass results to third parties.
Yes. Linguaskill is an online test. We come to you with invigilation, you come to us in Basel, or we find another format by arrangement — for candidates abroad, for instance.
They don't have to — Linguaskill measures the current state. Anyone who wants to see the format can use the free practice materials from Cambridge.
The price depends on the number of participants and the modules chosen. After a 15-minute conversation you receive a quote within two working days.
We get back to you within one working day and clarify in 15 minutes whether Linguaskill fits your situation.
We tell you honestly if Linguaskill is not the right instrument for your situation. It happens.
