Other languages

Nowadays mastering a foreign language goes hand in hand with the need to have your skills recognized and validated, both on a national and international scale. This increases your chances of:

• achieving higher qualifications and succeeding in your profession
• meeting the requirements of your employer
• working abroad or attending a foreign university.

When the European Portfolio was introduced in 2001, it imposed a certain level of criterion to ensure objectivity and equality in all EU countries, thus enabling every European citizen to take internationally recognized qualifications attesting their linguistic competence (Table of Levels).
With their specialised skills, Language Points’ mother tongue and bilingual teachers are able to guide the students in their preparation for these international certifications and guarantee courses targeted at specific exams. To ensure familiarity with the structure of the exam , “Mock” exam papers from previous years are used throughout these preparation courses. As well as at Language Point, our lessons run all year round in the schools and companies who make the request for these training courses for the preparation of the various foreign language exams and follow the Common European Framework of Reference of the Council of Europe.
