Question 1 / 20
A1 is the first level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). At A1 you understand familiar, everyday expressions and very simple sentences. You can introduce yourself and others, ask for directions, answer basic questions about where you live and work, and follow English that is spoken slowly and clearly.
This A1 placement test is for beginners and returners who want to check whether their foundations are solid. The test has 20 questions covering grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure. It is free, requires no registration, and you see your result immediately after the last question.
After the test you will know exactly where you stand — and what comes next: Simmonds Language Services has offered Business English courses with native-speaking trainers since 2004, online and in person in Hannover and Berlin.
The test has 20 questions and no time limit. You see your result with a CEFR level immediately after the last question — free and without registration.
B1 is a good starting point for most Business English courses. Simmonds, however, teaches all levels from A1 to C2 — with native-speaking trainers, online and in Hannover and Berlin.
You immediately receive your CEFR level with a course recommendation. If you like, we will advise you without obligation on which course fits your goals — Simmonds Language Services has taught Business English since 2004.
