Language Assessments
Your Success Depends on Your Employees
Filling a role is one thing — knowing your candidate can communicate in it is another. Whether you’re screening applicants or confirming a final hire, language proficiency is no longer a nice-to-have. In today’s globalized workplace, it’s a business-critical requirement.
That’s where ELAM comes in. From initial screening to full assessment audit, we guide you through every step of the evaluation process. Our spoken and written assessments — the ECBE (Evaluation of Competencies in Business English) and ECFA (Evaluation of Competencies in Business French) — deliver accurate, objective proficiency results so you can make informed hiring decisions with complete confidence.
Language Skills Assessment
Unlike automated online solutions, every ELAM assessment is conducted by a trained language specialist — because when the stakes are high, human expertise makes all the difference.
Online Booking

Fast Results
You get a detailed and personalised written report within 24-48 hours or you can opt for the Express 3-hour result.
Microsoft Teams Interview
All oral assessments are conducted and recorded via Microsoft Teams. The online written assessment may also be completed during a timed, supervised session.
Levels
The results are mapped to the internationally recognized CEFR scale, so you always know exactly where a candidate stands.
Language Audit Analysis
The requirements will change, and the language standards of the job should change with them. ELAM’s Language Audit service helps organizations to formulate, modify, and confirm the English and French proficiency levels necessary for certain jobs. Setting language guidelines for a new job opening, revising outmoded job descriptions, or dealing with a unionized environment demanding an independent outside review, ELAM provides the objective, expert-led analysis necessary for your company to set clear and defensible language standards from the beginning.
