This language proficiency assessment registration is for:

If the language proficiency assessment is for organizational use, please provide the name of the organization.

Please provide the name of your employer, agency, or university approving ICLS as a testing center.

In order to maintain objectivity in the testing process, ICLS policy does not allow the testing of current students or students who have trained at ICLS within the past 12 months.

Have you received language training from ICLS within the past 12 months?

Have you previously had your language proficiency tested at ICLS?

The use of online resources (e.g., Google translate, ChatGPT) is strictly prohibited. The use of these resources will terminate the assessment, no score will be provided, and no reimbursement will be issued. If you are testing in-person, ICLS has a safe place to store your electronic device(s) while you test.

I understand that the proficiency scores given for the assessment are based solely on the language exhibited during the test. The testing team does not consider where examinees have learned the language and take a holistic testing approach. All scores issued by the International Center for Language Studies are valid for two (2) years. Examinees indemnify and hold ICLS harmless for any and all certifications relating to any test results.

LANGUAGE TEST AGREEMENT The language test will be scheduled once payment is received. You will be contacted within 1-2 business days to confirm successful registration. You will receive additional correspondence via email once the assessment has successfully been scheduled that will include important details (i.e., date, meeting link for online assessments). You must confirm receipt (by email) of the confirmed date & time or notify ICLS of changes within 24 hours. Failure to confirm may result in forfeiting the assigned testing slot in the calendar. If ICLS is unable to schedule the assessment due to Tester availability, the examinee will receive a full refund. If an examinee needs to cancel an already confirmed assessment, a cancellation fee of $150.00 will be charged. If an examinee needs to reschedule an already confirmed assessment a rescheduling fee of $75.00 will be charged. All assessments must be conducted within six months of registration. No refunds will be issued for any outstanding assessments after six months. The testing team will wait 10 minutes after the start of the confirmed time. Failure to show up for the language test will be treated as a late cancellation and the test will be charged in full. In the event ICLS is unable to schedule your test, you will be refunded in full.

APPEALS: Appeals to scores must be made within five (5) days after test results are sent by the FLD Testing Division. In such cases a second rater will assess and score the test recording for an additional fee. This fee will be reimbursed should the score post review is higher than the original score. ICLS will honor the higher score
