Who Takes This Test?

Mostly people who need to show their English level without booking an exam centre. That covers a lot of ground — job applicants, visa paperwork, university admissions, or just personal tracking. The test takes 25 minutes and gives you a level from A1 to C2.

It's common among professionals in Central Europe, the Middle East, and Asia applying to international companies. Travelling to London for an IELTS sitting is time-consuming and expensive. This isn't.

What the Test Covers

25 questions across four areas: grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and language use in context — prepositions, register, idioms. The questions span all levels, so the test works whether you're B1 trying to confirm B2 or C1 wondering if you've actually reached C2.

What the Levels Mean

A1 is basic phrases and familiar words. C2 is full fluency — reads anything, expresses anything. Most job listings that say "good English" mean B2. Academic programmes usually want C1. The test tells you where you are.

How Employers Use the Certificate

Each certificate has a QR code and a unique ID that employers can check at examinizer.net/verify/ in seconds — no account needed. Many HR teams use it as a first-stage language screen before inviting candidates to interview.

Common Questions

No. Examinizer is independent — not affiliated with Cambridge, British Council, or any official body. For contexts where law or regulation requires an officially accredited qualification, you'll need one of those. For job applications, professional profiles, and personal records, this works fine.

25 questions, 25-minute limit. Most people finish in 15–20 minutes.

Yes, as many times as you like. Each attempt is separate. You can buy a certificate for each completed test.

No expiry date — it stays verifiable online indefinitely. That said, language levels change, and we'd suggest retesting every couple of years to keep it current.
