What this is
The test measures reading and listening and is adaptive: question difficulty adjusts to your answers. The result places you between A1 and C2, and the certificate is generated immediately and added to LinkedIn in one click.
It is unproctored, meaning nobody verifies that you are the one taking it. That is why universities, embassies and immigration services do not accept it. For an employer's first filter it works perfectly well.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants a specific English level stated on a CV without paying for IELTS.

- 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
