Spanish placement test

Initial Assessment and Placement: Your Personalized Journey

 

At ELE USAL Strasbourg, a Qualiopi-certified training center, learning begins with an accurate Spanish placement test.

 

This assessment is free, non-binding, and mandatory before any registration, especially for funded training courses (CPF, OPCO).

 

Our goal? To identify your level according to the CEFR (A1 to C2), analyze your specific needs, and guide you to the most suitable group to ensure the success of your training.

1. Online written test

To be completed independently from home (30-45 minutes).

Does not apply to complete beginners.

2. Oral interview

A 15-minute conversation (by phone, video call, or in person at our center) with our Academic Director.

This step is crucial to assess your speaking fluency and clearly define your learning goals.

3. Assessment and orientation

Immediate feedback on your CEFR level and recommendation for the appropriate Spanish course.

❓ Who needs to take the test? (Exemptions)

Mandatory Cases

The test is mandatory if you have previously studied Spanish, if you are enrolling in a funded training course (CPF, PTP, OPCO), or if your last test was taken more than 6 months ago.

Exemptions

However, you are exempt from the written test if you are a complete beginner or if you have studied with us within the last 12 months.

 

Please note: the oral interview remains mandatory in all cases.

📊 CEFR levels and methodology

Our courses and assessments are strictly aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): A1 (Beginner), A2 (Elementary), B1 (Intermediate), B2 (Upper Intermediate), C1 (Advanced), and C2 (Mastery). Appropriate placement prevents boredom or frustration and ensures rapid progress.
