Where You Stand
A certificate that says exactly where you stand.
Callens conducts proficiency exams in English, German, French and Spanish, across all six CEFR levels — A1 to C2. Choose your center, choose computer-based or paper-based, and book in advance.
Four Languages, One Standard
Every exam is mapped to the same CEFR framework — a B2 certificate means the same thing whether you sat it in English or in German.
Six Levels, One Ladder
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is the international scale every Callens certificate is built on.
Basic phrases, everyday introductions, simple day-to-day exchanges.
Simple, direct exchanges on familiar topics — shopping, routines, family.
Handle most situations while travelling, describe experiences and plans.
Spontaneous, fluent conversation with native speakers on most topics.
Confident use in academic and professional settings, nuanced expression.
Precise, effortless command — understands virtually everything with ease.
Screen or Paper Format
Choose whichever format you're most comfortable with — both are held to the same standard and lead to the same certificate.
Sit It on Screen
Take the exam on a computer at your chosen center. Results are typically processed faster, and the format suits students already comfortable typing.
- Faster result turnaround
- Clear on-screen instructions
- Ideal for listening & reading modules
Sit It on Paper
Prefer pen and paper? Sit the traditional written exam at a center offering the paper-based format — same syllabus, same certificate.
- Familiar exam-hall experience
- No screen-comfort required
- Available at select centers
