Free Needs and Level Assessment – No Commitment
At Oxford House, we believe the key to a successful corporate language course lies in creating well-balanced groups aligned with the participants’ professional goals.
That’s why, before starting any training, we offer a free and no-obligation assessment to evaluate both the language level and the specific learning needs of each individual. This includes a written test and a short one-to-one speaking interview, allowing us to design effective, results-oriented proposals tailored to your team’s real context.
Listen, assess and tailor: this is how we ensure every training programme starts on the right foot.
What does the level test involve?
The process is quick and simple. Employees who are candidates for the course will be asked to complete a written test online, which we send in advance and can be done easily from a computer or mobile device.
Once completed, we schedule a short one-to-one speaking interview with one of our teachers, where we assess comprehension, fluency and the learner’s communicative needs. This two-part assessment gives us a clear understanding of their actual level and helps us assign them to the most suitable group or training format.
It’s a quick, pressure-free process designed to start the course on the right track.
What does the needs assessment involve?
A proper needs assessment is essential to ensure that each course is aligned with the real objectives of both the company and the participants.
First, we meet with the HR team to define the key details of the course: what the company expects from the training, which language skills should be prioritised, and in what context the language will be used. This helps us:
- Determine the most suitable length and weekly schedule.
- Select the most appropriate teacher from our team based on the group’s profile and needs.
The second stage takes place directly with the participants. During the first session, the teacher dives deeper into their specific needs to identify:
- Short-, medium- and long-term language goals.
- Preferred learning styles and motivating activities.
- Key skills to focus on (listening, reading, writing, speaking, etc.).
This process allows us to deliver training that is fully personalised, efficient and goal-oriented.
