For Government
EnglishScore is the British Council's mobile English assessment — built for government organisations that need trusted, large-scale English testing without the infrastructure of traditional exams.
The Challenge
Government English testing programmes face a structural problem: the methods that deliver trusted results — formal exam centres, trained invigilators, printed materials — are the same methods that make large-scale testing prohibitively expensive and logistically complex.
When you need to assess thousands of civil servants, scholarship applicants, or workforce development participants, the overhead of traditional testing creates bottlenecks. Booking venues. Coordinating schedules. Hiring and training invigilators. Waiting weeks for results. And after all that, most tests still only measure reading and listening.
EnglishScore removes the infrastructure. The test is taken on a mobile phone, scored by AI, proctored by camera, and results are delivered in hours — not weeks.
Use Cases
Add EnglishScore as a recognised English proficiency requirement for scholarship programmes. Applicants take the test on their own phone, at their own convenience, at a fraction of the cost of traditional alternatives. You receive verified, CEFR-aligned scores for all four skills.
Screen the English proficiency of candidates for government roles where English communication matters — diplomacy, trade, international relations, tourism. A standardised, reliable measure that removes subjectivity.
English proficiency contributes directly to economic growth, employability, and global connectivity. Use EnglishScore to benchmark English levels across public sector workforces, identify training priorities, and measure the impact of language development programmes over time.
Authority
EnglishScore is developed by the British Council — the UK's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, operating in more than 100 countries. Already used by government bodies including the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology for their Talent Scouting Programme.
