English Proficiency Programme
A structured English-development pathway based on your current CEFR level and your objective — for learners building general English rather than preparing for a specific exam.
English Proficiency
A1 to C1, one level at a time
You are placed at the level your assessment supports, and you move up when you are ready for the next one.
- A1Foundation
Foundation / beginner English
In practice: You are starting from the beginning, or rebuilding from very little. Simple introductions, familiar words and short everyday phrases.
- A2Elementary
Elementary / developing English
In practice: You can handle routine situations — shopping, directions, describing your day — using simple, direct language.
- B1Independent
Independent everyday English foundation
In practice: You can hold a conversation on familiar subjects, explain your reasons and follow most everyday workplace English.
- B2Upper intermediate
Upper-intermediate proficiency for broader academic/professional use
In practice: You can discuss complex topics, follow an argument and express a position clearly enough for professional and academic settings.
- C1Advanced
Advanced proficiency
In practice: You use English flexibly and precisely, including implied meaning, and can work or study in it without the language being the obstacle.
A level assigned by Alpha Talents World describes where we place you in our own programme. It is not an official CEFR certification, and it is not an examination result.
Who the programme is for
- Learners who need general English for work, study or daily life rather than a specific exam score.
- Learners who are not sure what their level is and want it established honestly before they commit.
- Learners who tried a general course before and found it pitched above or below them.
How placement works
The online assessment estimates your level across Language Use, Reading and Listening. Speaking is assessed separately with a teacher when you enrol. A teacher confirms your final placement before you start — the online result is indicative, not the last word.
Start your assessmentHow it works
The same five steps for every learner, whichever pathway you end up on.
Assess
Take the English assessment and find out where your English actually is today.
Identify level and goal
We read the result with you and confirm what you are aiming for.
Choose your pathway
General proficiency, IELTS or TOEFL — whichever serves the goal you named.
Learn and progress
Study at the level you were placed at, with your progress reviewed as you go.
Reach your goal
Move up a level, sit your exam, or use the English you came here for.
Preparing for IELTS or TOEFL instead?
Those are separate pathways with their own preparation. If your goal is a band or a score rather than general proficiency, start there.
Prefer to talk to someone?
Your name, a contact number, and what you want English for. That is enough for a first conversation — nothing else is needed to enquire.
