Linguaskill FAQ
 

1. What are the differences between Linguaskill and IELTS?

Globally recognised by universities, employers and governments, Linguaskill Test is a mark of excellence, and a research-based innovative assessment method for testing learners’ English language proficiency. 

 

Linguaskill is a multilevel proficiency test offering two options for test-takers: general and business.  It is suitable for universities and other education institutes, corporate and government ministries for multiple purposes.  IELTS, on the contrary, is generally used for academic purposes eg university admission, standard-setting, etc.  

 

Linguaskill, new to test takers, is a much faster way of identifying English language abilities.  It is gradually gaining recognition by corporate, government departments, higher education and training institutes for immigration, admission, recruitment and appraisal.

Linguaskill Business

Linguaskill General tests English used in daily life, making it suitable for university admission and recruitment for roles in a non-business-specific environment.

For example, where the employees need strong English skills to perform their role effectively, but do not need specialist business terminology.

The test is suitable for a broad range of organisations.

Linguaskill Business tests language used in a corporate setting. It is most suitable for business specific courses or for recruitment in organisations where employees would be expected to be familiar with the language of business.

Linguaskill Business is best used for recruitment in organisations where employees are expected to be familiar with the language of business.
