CEFR C1 English Exam

Achieving the C1 level in a language of vital importance such as English is no easy task, since this rank, according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), corresponds to advanced proficiency, a scale below that of native English speakers. If you have already acquired the skills required for this level, you only need a high-level complement that allows you to take full advantage of them, since there are many companies that request a formal accreditation in the language. For this, TECH Technological University developed the CEFR C1 English Exam, a 100% online test, based on CEFR standards and with an approximate duration of four hours. Through state-of-the-art multimedia material and the verification of an eminent faculty, you will have access to a high-quality evaluation proposal, free of those costly on-site registration procedures and the stress that is sometimes involved in presenting evaluations in a classroom.

The best online English C1 exam

If you have sufficient command of English to recognize a wide range of idiomatic and colloquial expressions and appreciate changes of register; extract specific information from public statements that have poor quality and distorted sound (at a station, a stadium, etc.); understand films that employ a considerable amount of slang or colloquial language; or make clear and detailed descriptions of complex topics, then this exam is the perfect choice to certify your level. The test consists of four parts, each with its own exercises and response times: reading comprehension (50-70 minutes), written expression (70-90 minutes), listening comprehension (35-45 minutes) and oral expression (15-20 minutes). In the case of the section designed to evaluate speaking, we do it through a virtual interview with an English-speaking instructor, which will be recorded for later validation. In order to pass, you will have to score more than 60% in each of the four parts. Once achieved, you will obtain a certificate of international prestige.
