The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a widely recognized system for teaching and measuring language proficiency. Although originally developed in Europe, it has become a global standard—especially for European languages like English. Other frameworks include the ACTFL (USA), the CLB (Canada), and the ILR (used by U.S. government agencies). Unlike specific language exams, the CEFR is not tied to any single test. However, most standardized tests now offer CEFR-aligned results, making it easier to compare and understand language skills across different contexts. All our exams per levels and integrated (A1-C2) were designed based on this framework.
