1. Take the FREE Test to Find Your Language Level
To take courses and / or exams, you must choose a “language pair” and the direction of that language pair (e.g., EN > AR or AR > EN). Best practice dictates that linguists usually translate into their mother-tongue / strongest language. It does not benefit your career to translate into English, if that is not your mother-tongue.
If your First Language is not English :
e.g. English > French
You will need to test your English.
The CEFR scale is used for this. It is the international standard for English learning and classifies a learner’s reading, listening, speaking and writing. European organisations follow this guidance (incl. the CIOLQ).
Test your English CEFR level free of charge, at englishonline.britishcouncil.org/free-english-level-test-cefr-2/.
OR
If your first language is English :
e.g. French > English
You will need to test your Second / Other Language.
Examples of other-language tests using the CEFR levels can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_proficiency_tests.
Find your test by searching online.
