There are two versions of Linguaskill:
Both versions have the same length and a very similar format.
3- Procedure
The test is administered and automatically graded on a computer. It assesses candidates' ability across three tests. Candidates can choose to take only one test or take both tests together.
Once the results are obtained, the Linguaskill General certificate is valid for two years from the date of validation. The test can be retaken as many times as the candidate wishes.
4- Price and registration
Each module costs between €70 and €90. The price actually depends on the center where you take the test. If a candidate wishes to take all three modules, they will pay between €210 and €270.
In terms of registration, the test can be taken from any computer station with a high-speed internet connection, provided it is under the supervision of a supervisor authorized by Cambridge English Language Assessment. In practice, candidates mainly take the exam at an approved center, or at their workplace or training location. The full list of centers offering registration for Linguaskill is given on the Cambridge English Assessment website
