Levels and Outcomes
English training programmes are available to individuals at all levels of English knowledge (see the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). All potential participants will take a free placement test, to assess their general level of English and their professional interests. Participants will be grouped according to their language level and requirements.
Final assessments will be discussed together with HR or the relevant course organiser. Participants may be required, for example, to demonstrate a specific skill or learning outcome through a presentation, submission of a written portfolio or a timed assessment. This will be designed to ensure that the skills developed can be effectively put to use in pursuing broader organisational objectives, and achieving a social and public-policy impact.
