Job Entry Examinations and General English Level Tests

ESP also offers an English Language exam writing service. This job requires an experienced hand and a complex process to produce a balanced examination containing the right combination of various language elements.

Every examination is prepared according to the needs of the client and the way in which they want the language level to be measured. The client may decide on a simple wide range multiple choice level test with a short time limit of 45 minutes so that candidates can be processed as quickly as possible. A test such as this cannot provide highly accurate and detailed information about the different aspects of a person’s English but can determine their general level.

A full examination may also include an interview, writing paper and listening test in order to measure precisely the candidate’s level in different skills areas. The information gained from such a process can be an extremely useful tool in determining the most suitable to post for a successful candidate.

Another option is to implement versions of both of the aforementioned exams. A threshold point can be applied to the first wide range level test and candidates passing this threshold can then go to take the more detailed ‘full’ examination.

Many companies use English Language examinations to assist in the selection process for their Management Trainee education programmes. Again ESP prepares these exams to the exact specifications of the purchasing institution. Our exam specialists then assist in the analysis of the results.

Many clients also require a general English level test in order to update the skills profiles of their staff. The information gathered from such an examination can then be used to help determine job suitability, English language training needs, promotions, bonuses, and participants for job-related English language medium training programmes.
