An online language certificate is a document that confirms your ability in a language against the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2. Examinizer issues one after you take a 25-question adaptive test. You get your level immediately, and the PDF certificate, complete with a verification QR code, costs €8 and arrives by email within 30 seconds.
What an Online Certificate Actually Shows
The certificate states your CEFR level, your score breakdown across the test, and the date you took it. A QR code links to a verification page so anyone reviewing your application can confirm the result is real. It is not an accredited exam like IELTS or Cambridge, and it will not satisfy a visa office or a university admissions board. What it does well is give employers, recruiters, and clients a fast, checkable snapshot of your current level.
How to Get One
Pick a language and take the free adaptive test. There is no registration required and no time limit pressure beyond the roughly 25 minutes it takes to answer 25 questions. Your CEFR level shows up on screen the moment you finish. If you want the certificate as a document, pay €8 and it lands in your inbox within half a minute, ready to attach to a CV or share as a link.
Why Employers Accept It
Most hiring teams do not need a government-accredited exam. They need to know if a candidate can actually work in a language before scheduling an interview. A CEFR-based result answers that question in a format recruiters already understand, since CEFR is the reference scale used across European job postings and language schools. For roles tied to licensing, university admission, or immigration, you still need an official exam like IELTS or TOEFL — Examinizer is a screening tool, not a substitute for those.
Choose a Language
Every language below links to a dedicated certificate page (coming next in this project) with details on the test format and what each CEFR level means for that language. For now, each link routes through the live test.
Choose a CEFR Level
Not sure which language page to check first? Browse by level instead. Each page explains what that level means and who typically needs it.
Certificates for a Specific Purpose
Some applicants need a certificate framed around a specific use. These pages walk through exactly how to present a language result in each context.

Common Questions About Online Language Certificates
An Examinizer certificate is not accredited by governments or universities, and it does not replace exams like IELTS or Cambridge for visa or admission purposes. Employers, recruiters, and freelance clients accept it as proof of your current level because it maps directly to the CEFR scale used across Europe. It works well on a CV, a LinkedIn profile, or in a job application where the employer wants a quick, verifiable signal of your language ability. Each certificate includes a QR code an employer can scan to confirm it is genuine.
The test itself is free, with no registration required to start. The certificate costs €8, including EU VAT, and covers the PDF file with your CEFR level, your score breakdown, and a unique verification code. Compare that to Cambridge FCE or IELTS, which run $180 to $350 and require booking a test center weeks in advance. Examinizer gives you a result in 25 minutes from your own device.
Examinizer certificates carry no fixed expiration date, but language skills change over time, so most employers treat a result as a snapshot of your level at the time you took it. If you have not used the language actively in over two years, consider retaking the test before adding it to a CV or job application. Official exams like IELTS expire after two years for immigration purposes; Examinizer is not an immigration document, so that rule does not apply here.
The test has 25 adaptive questions and takes about 25 minutes to complete. Your CEFR level appears immediately after the last question. If you choose to buy the certificate, the PDF arrives by email within 30 seconds of payment, complete with your score, your level, and a QR code for verification. There is no waiting period and no manual review.
Many employers accept an Examinizer certificate as a fast way to confirm a candidate's language level before an interview, especially for roles that do not legally require an accredited exam. HR teams at customer support companies, agencies, and remote-first employers use it to screen applicants quickly. Roles tied to government licensing, university admission, or visa applications still require an official exam such as IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge, because only those providers are legally recognized for those purposes.
