LanguageCert Systems

Based on Research, Built for Fairness

The LanguageCert System is a set of English language tests developed, evaluated, and managed using an integrated, standardised, and assured approach. The LanguageCert System tests derive from extensive item banks of pre-tested and calibrated material, and associated validation research, based on an established candidature of LanguageCert tests and exams aligned to a common underlying measurement scale. To date, the LanguageCert System has based itself on tests which cover a single CEFR level, with the exception of the LanguageCert Test of English (LTE).

Following feedback from extensive use of the LanguageCert System around the world, the LanguageCert System now also includes two multi-level test variants aimed at workers and migrants, and tertiary education applicants. These are the LanguageCert General and Academic tests.

LanguageCert Policies

“Booking my LanguageCert test through the NIET Group Brisbane Testing Centre was so much easier than I expected. The team explained the options clearly, the centre was calm and professional, and knowing I could resit a failed component for only $75 took a lot of pressure off. I ended up getting the score I needed without paying for multiple full exams.”
