Placement Procedure

Before registering for an English language course, you must complete a 25-minute online placement test (C-test). If you are interested in the design of a C-test, you can take a 5-minute trial test.

Once the test is complete, you will receive an automatically generated email about your score and associated level. While you can initially only register for courses at this level, your score may be adjusted by up to 7 points after speaking to the coordinator, Dr. Fabienne Quennet. We expect you to do the online placement independently; do not consult AI tools. You may be asked to retake the test onsite in the self-study center. Please be aware that your result, otherwise, is final.

Important note: If you want to enroll in a MarSkills English course, please take the MarSkills online placement test.
