IELTS.WORK IELTS FAQ # 1711689037

Potential employers assess the English language proficiency of workers who have completed English language proficiency exams administered by professional organizations or associations through various means, including:

1. Reviewing test scores and certification: Employers often consider the score obtained in a standardized English language proficiency test like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE. Higher scores indicate a higher level of English language proficiency.
2. Verifying certifications: Employers may check if candidates hold recognized language certifications such as CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels, Cambridge English exams like CAE or CPE, or other professional language qualifications.
3. Assessment through interviews and tasks: Employers can assess a candidate's English language proficiency during interviews by asking them to perform tasks that require verbal communication, comprehension, and written expression in English. This may include conducting the interview in English, having candidates provide written responses to questions, or asking candidates to complete English-language tasks, such as reading comprehension, listening exercises, or speaking activities.
4. Reference checks: Employers may also contact previous employers, educators, or language instructors to obtain feedback on the candidate's English language proficiency and their ability to communicate effectively in professional settings.
