Recruitment of a PA for a French speaking CE

" I am conducting interviews for the PA to CE role. I am looking for a written business French test that can give an objective score for each candidate."

London Languages provided a written test on business correspondence. 12 candidates completed the test and a report was sent to the client with the individual scores and analysis of the candidates' strengths and weaknesses in written business French.

" Thankfully we have finally found someone and made an offer. Thank you so much for all your help. It made such a difference knowing we could assess their French properly."

Assessment of Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch language skills of current staff

" We would like to have a generic statement of the level of each person against the European benchmarks (i.e. A1 to C2).  This will help us to focus investment in their language training and evaluate progress after a period of tuition.  They will all need to be assessed for written and conversational ability."

London Languages organised 16 assessments with a written and oral test for each person. Detailed feedback was provided to the client on the different language elements of interest.

" A successful exercise. We now have a base point for the language skills of the individuals which will allow us to measure progress as we invest in tuition in the coming months."
