Language school: separating levels taught from certifications

A course is chosen by understanding where it leads. Clarify certifications, levels and formats: compare the initial description with authoritative sources and distinguish what you teach from what you can attest.

What you get

From attributed certification to a verified role.

Preparing students for an exam does not mean being an exam centre or issuing the certificate. Compare the answer with the awarding body’s directory and the school page. A correction should clarify the actual role, without attributing automatic accreditation checks to the platform.

In detail

From a generic level to a stated pathway.

If you use the CEFR to describe courses, distinguish the starting level, stated target and programme reference. Course alignment is not a guaranteed outcome for every person. Compare the updated page with collected descriptions without inventing equivalences between levels and certificates.

The course page separates target and assessment

An illustrative listing clarifies the stated level without turning it into a guaranteed student outcome.

Using it in your work

From an overlooked course to a recognisable format.

If the school offers online lessons, the course page should say so clearly. Compare what you publish with what answers repeat: a new description does not ensure inclusion, but it gives a clearer reference to compare over time.

Frequently asked questions

Language school: exam preparation is not issuing the certificate.

Preparing for an exam is not the same as issuing the certificate: compare the role answers attribute to your school with the awarding body’s reference and the course page, making clear who prepares, who examines and who issues the award.

How do I distinguish exam preparation from certificate issuing?

Compare the school’s attributed role with the awarding body’s reference and course page. The description should clarify who prepares, examines and issues the award according to actual information.
