For Higher Education Institutions
Test your students with a secure, CEFR-standardised English test and award them with a certificate carrying both the British Council and your institution's logo.
The Challenge
Most institutions face the same dilemma: traditional exams are expensive, logistically heavy, and slow to return results. In-house alternatives raise questions about reliability. And as student cohorts grow and diversify, the gap between what your institution needs and what legacy testing delivers keeps widening.
Booking exam halls. Paying invigilators. Printing papers. Waiting weeks for scores. Managing scheduling across hundreds or thousands of students. It all adds up — and at the end of it, you're still only testing receptive skills.
There's a better way to assess, certify, and track English proficiency across your entire student body — without the overhead.
Use Cases
Whether you're screening applicants, tracking development, or certifying graduates, EnglishScore gives you a single, consistent assessment framework from admissions to alumni.
Place students into the correct level from the start. EnglishScore gives you a reliable, CEFR-aligned score across all four skills, so you get the precision to stream students accurately — reducing dropout, improving outcomes, and saving teaching staff time.
Track student progress over time with repeat assessments. Your personalised dashboard gives real-time visibility into cohort performance, individual improvement, and areas that need attention — without the admin burden of traditional testing cycles.
Give your students a head-start in the job market. EnglishScore's Certificate, co-branded with your institution's logo, is a globally recognised credential that proves English proficiency to employers. Verifiable, secure, and issued in minutes.

Authority
EnglishScore is developed by the British Council, with over 90 years of experience in English teaching and assessment, operating in more than 100 countries worldwide. Scores are aligned to the CEFR, the worldwide standard used by tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC. Independent validation by CRELLA confirms the test's reliability and construct validity.
Product Benefits
EnglishScore combines AI-powered assessment with human examiner review for productive skills. Controlled studies show our scoring performs as well as a human examiner. Every week, machine learning runs across the last 50,000 sittings to continuously refine test items — a feedback loop no traditional exam can match.
No exam centres. No booking systems. No travel. Students take the test on their own phone, wherever they are, whenever suits them. Full English proficiency assessed in under 80 minutes with results arriving near-instantly.
By removing exam centres, invigilation, room hire, printing, and manual marking, EnglishScore dramatically reduces the cost of English assessment. That means you can test more students, more often, without stretching your budget.
Built-in face monitoring and photo-check technology ensures the right person is taking the test. Every certificate carries a unique reference number, verifiable through our online portal. We're constantly adding new layers: device security, audio/video detection, ID assurance, and certificate anti-forgery.
