UniHouse places its general English training programs on the CEFR and this how we measure your language skills. We structure our courses around six main levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced).
A1 (Levels 1-2): You can understand and use familiar, everyday expressions and very simple sentences, which relate to your immediate needs.
A2 (Levels 3-4): You can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). You can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics.
B1 (Levels 5-6): You can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. You can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst traveling in an area where the language is spoken. You can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest.
B2 (Levels 7-8): You can understand the main points of complex standard input on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in your field of specialization. You can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. You can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
C1 (Levels 9-10): You can understand a wide range of challenging, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. You can express yourself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. You can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. You can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing command of the style and register appropriate to the communicative task.
C2 (Levels 11-12): You can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read. You can summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation. You can express yourself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in the most complex situations.
