ICLS Proficiency Assessment Registration

Language proficiency assessments help organizations ensure effective communication, improve global readiness, and make informed decisions about training and staffing.

The International Center for Language Studies' foreign language proficiency assessments are available to government agencies, employers, and all individuals with the need to have their language skills assessed. Assessments measure proficiency in Speaking, Listening, and/or Reading skills, conducted either in person or online via Zoom. All assessments are conducted by qualified testers, and results are based on the Interagency Language Roundtable Skill Level Descriptions.

YesNo

Have you previously had your language proficiency tested at ICLS?*

YesNo

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 agree

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.*

I agree

LANGUAGE TEST AGREEMENT The language test will be scheduled once payment is received. You will be contacted within 3-5 days to confirm your language test. In the event ICLS is unable to schedule your test, you will be refunded in full. Once you have been notified of your language test schedule, your confirmation (by email) is expected within 24 hours. In the event that you have to cancel or reschedule prior to the appointment time, a fee of $150 will be charged if these changes happen within 24 hours of the confirmed test date and time. 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.*

I agree

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*
