What is a CEFR Language Proficiency Test?

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is the international standard for describing language ability. Used by educators, employers, and language learners worldwide, CEFR provides a clear framework for assessing language proficiency levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient).

Traditional language proficiency tests like TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge exams require scheduling, travel to test centers, and weeks of waiting for results. Evalingo's AI-powered language assessment uses advanced machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to deliver the same CEFR-aligned scores in just 22 minutes, available 24/7 from any device.
