For several years, a special category of solutions for measuring the language level of employees has been available on the market. The solution is language audits. This form of exams has been prepared with companies and institutions in mind. They are more flexible, faster and easier to administer, so they are eagerly chosen by companies to confirm the language level of their employees.
International Language Institute has the means to conduct both language exams (we are the TELC and TOEiC examination center) and language audits for our clients. In both of these categories, we were pioneers on the Polish B2B market.
