Testing

Upon arrival at Hansa Language Centre, every student must do a placement test and undergo an interview with one of Hansa's highly-trained student counsellors. The placement test evaluates grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills. The interview evaluates the student’s speaking and listening abilities and helps to design the ideal study program in consideration of the student’s needs and goals.

Regular tests and interviews are scheduled by student counsellors to monitor progress and determine when class changes are needed. Students are also encouraged to meet with a counsellor to discuss their study program and progress during school hours.

Complimentary practice TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS tests are offered weekly. In preparation for these exams, students can take advantage of Hansa's computer study labs.
