Information about the CEFR test
Frequently asked questions about the CEFR tests
CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It provides a standardized framework for assessing language proficiency across Europe in levels from A1 to C2.
The CEFR test covers all five core language skills:
- Speaking
- Listening
- Reading
- Language elements
- Writing
The goal is to assess practical communication skills in real-life situations – at work, in everyday life and in academic contexts. The level of difficulty depends on the selected language level.
The exam is divided into two main parts:
- Oral section (usually conducted as a paired or individual interview)
- Written section (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements, written expression)
The duration of the exam varies depending on the level. The exam usually lasts between 100 and 220 minutes. All assessments are conducted by certified examiners in accordance with official CEFR assessment standards.
A certificate in accordance with the CEFR standards is recognised throughout Europe – by the authorities, educational institutions and companies. However, this certificate is not always sufficient for all purposes and organisations. It is therefore important that you check before booking your CEFR exam whether the certificate is sufficient for your purposes and is recognised by the relevant institutions.
