  1. APPLY

The application will let us know who you are and how we can best help you meet your language credentialing needs. You may fill out the application within a 12-month period before or after you have tested. Please review our qualifying tests and requirements before applying.

2. TEST

In order to receive your Global Seal of Biliteracy, we require documentation for the first language and qualifying test scores for the second language. If you have not yet tested we can recommend a language proficiency test, or if you have already tested you can submit results from one of our approved tests if the language test has already been taken. Candidates must meet the required criteria first/native and second language.
