An interesting and fun challenge for the youngest learners. Our main goal is to make their first approach to English a memorable and stimulating experience.

International Certificate Young Learners exams assess, through the four skills, the children’s capacity to use structures and functions in real-life contexts.

These tests, adapted specially for 7-13 year-old students, offer four levels of increasing difficulty, mapped to levels pre-A1 to A2 on the CEFR.

  • Firstwords (Level 1)
  • Springboard (Level 2)
  • Quickmarch (Level 3)
  • Breakthrough (Level 4)
