AKAD Language Assessment

Do you need proof of your language abilities? Or would you like to find out which level best suits your language abilities?

Language assessment

The AKAD language assessment allows you to evaluate your language abilities in German, English or French without having to wait for the next exam date.

 
How does the assessment work? Your oral and written abilities will be detailed separately on the certificate. The first stage is to take a computer-assisted test, followed by a review of your oral language skills with a mother-tongue teacher.

Duration: approx. 60 minutes
Fee: CHF 190.-

Register via email for the language assessment or arrange an appointment directly with our advisory team (tel.: +41 44 368 71 11).
