Overview

In order to better serve our students here at Atlanta English Institute (AEI), we have partnered with Cambridge Assessment English to provide external assessments and resources to help students succeed in their language-learning and or academic journey. AEI is a proud Authorized Linguaskill Agent and Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing Center.

Linguaskill

Linguaskill is an online external assessment that measures the English language proficiency of individuals or groups of students. It tests students in Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing.

The assessment exam is divided into three sections:
      • Reading and Listening (75 minutes)
      • Speaking (15 minutes)
      • Writing (45 minutes)

Linguaskill is perfect for:
      • Students who are currently enrolled in business education classes (C1 Business Higher)
      • Students who want another measure of their English skills
      • Students who want to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees in the United States or internationally
      • Students and or professionals who require a certain level of English for professional and career purposes

Anyone who takes all three sections of the Linguaskill Assessment will receive an official Linguaskill certificate and score report with their CEFR score (A1-C2). For more information regarding the Linguaskill Assessment and where to access sample practice tests please visit the Cambridge website. Contact info@vbj4.com to learn about test dates.
