Setting up the profile
After setting up the profile, you will be asked to complete a self-assessment with learning objectives (for all languages) and/or a placement test (for English, French, Spanish, and German only) to determine your proficiency level and ideal starting point in the program. The self-assessment asks how long the language has been studied, what skills need to be improved, and what subject areas are of interest. The placement test determines proficiency level based on demonstrated listening and reading skills.
If you are classified as a beginner, you will be placed in Foundations (A1-A2).
Advanced students are placed in Fluency Builder (B1-C1).
