Competency Tests are a language skills assessment tool - rather like a school exam, only they test employees' and job applicants' English or other language communication skills. Advantages include:

• RECRUITING:
  Gauge job applicants' current level of job-related English or other language skills. This information can help you determine whether an applicant or subcontractor has the communication skills necessary to perform the job effectively. Competency Tests help determine which position an applicant's language skills are best suited for.

• PROMOTIONS & TRANSFERS:
  Accurately determine whether an employee is in fact ready for a promotion or a transfer to a specific post, based on his/her job-related English skills.

• TRAINING:
  Accurately determine which employees need English training, how much training they need, keep track of training progress, and upon training completion identify who is ready to perform which type of job.
