Question 1 / 20
C1 stands for proficient language use in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). At C1 you understand demanding, longer texts and recognise implicit meaning. You speak fluently and spontaneously without obviously searching for words, and you use English effectively at work — in negotiations, presentations and complex professional discussions.
This C1 placement test is for advanced learners who want to check whether they have reached the upper level — for example before an executive or presentation training course. The test has 20 questions, is free, requires no registration, and shows your result immediately.
After the test you will know exactly where you stand: 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 enough to start with Business English. C1 is the goal for professionals who negotiate, present and lead internationally — Simmonds teaches all levels 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.
