The vocational training tool is increasingly being used by individuals and companies. In France, the provisional personal training account has highlighted the country’s desire to “create a society of skills”.

In the end, to determine this coherent objective and propose adapted training courses, more and more training organizations utilize placement tests. A result from the desire for reform by vocational training organizations in 2019. However, this stage of pre-training assessments is not the easiest to organize nor the most pleasant for your professors. Therefore, Pipplet has created a placement test that is going to simplify your life, Pipplet Placement.

A placement test without appointment, evaluating the 4 skills

As a foreign language training organization, you often encounter learners who are unaware of their language level or are content giving you vague information. You might have heard something along the lines of “I have not had English since high school, but I had average grades”, “I understand the language rather well, but I do not express myself well” or even “ I think I have a good proficiency level, but I want to better myself to be more at ease”.

These types of responses indicate to an organizations that an assessment must be conducted. This assessment can be in the form of a face to face evaluation or a MCQ assessment. However, it can be quite difficult to truly gauge their oral and written abilities.

With the Pipplet Placement test, you can evaluate a large number of learners very easily. Without an appointment you can obtain their CEFR level which reflect their oral and written abilities. This allows you to create learning groups based on their levels or help them select a career.

30 minute evaluation, CEFR results in 24hrs

 


 

Is a new trainee going to start training soon, but you want to make sure you place them in the correct group level? Well Pipplet Placement’s process is as simple for you as it is for your trainee.

 

All you need to do is access your online dashboard. You will fill out the trainee’s first and last name along with their email. Then choose which language you want to evaluate your trainee in and just click send.

 

The trainee will receive a test invitation link by email. They only need 30 minutes, a computer equipped with a microphone, and a calm place. They are also free to take the test where ever they want, no matter the time of day.

 

However, Pipplet Placement is not a typical placement test because it places candidates in situations where they demonstrate their abilities to read, write, speak and listen.

 

Once they complete the test, our native speaking professor evaluate your trainee on the 4 skills mentioned earlier. Within 24 hours, we will send you the results in the form of a global certificate .

 


Quickly evaluate several candidates quickly: a linguistic audit

One of your clients wants to audit their 150 employees’ language level at the end of the training program next month? This can prove to be a challenging task since you will need to organize interviews with professors. But, only one click is needed with Pipplet Placement. In a matter of seconds you can send assessments and within 24 hours of the test completion, receive the test results. You end up saving time and offer a structured and efficient process to your clients.
