Electronic level test and schedule

Electronic level test

As soon as you have registered and paid online, we will send you an e-mail with the link to your electronic level test.

The aim is for you to take this test at home as soon as possible. As long as we do not have the result of your level test, we can not book you a place in the appropriate level.

If it appears that the group of your level is already full at the moment we receive your result, we will temporarily put you on a waiting list to check if someone cancels or if it is still possible to add a group.
If not, we reserve the right to cancel your registration and to pay back your registration fee.

In other words: the sooner you take the test, the sooner your place in the appropriate group is booked. If you can not take the electronic test at home, it is possible to make an appointment with the secretary's office to take your test at the CLT.

On Monday July 19, you will take an oral test that is supposed to confirm your result of the electronic test. If not, the teachers reserve the right to determine which is the most appropriate level for you.

Students of our year course or last years summer course, do not take these tests. They will automatically be allocated to a group on the basis of their last test results. They are invited to come to the CLT on July 19 at 1.45 pm for divide into groups.
