How it works

Register

Organizations create a platform account and submit their recipients or candidates. Individuals register through one of our partner processing organizations.

2

Submit qualifying scores

Qualifying test results in two languages, aligned to the ACTFL or CEFR scale.

3

Receive

Approved recipients get a signed certificate, free, plus a Digital Language Profile.

We certify, we do not test. Qualifying scores come from approved assessments aligned to the ACTFL or CEFR scale. Certification and the Digital Language Profile are free. Printed paper certificates are available for a fee.
