AI-powered English assessment gives organisations a consistent way to measure the communication skills employees need in today’s workplace<\/b><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE<\/span>, Oct. 1, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — As businesses operate across increasingly international teams, markets and customers, employers need more than a candidate’s stated level of English. They need reliable evidence that employees have the communication skills required for their roles.<\/p>\n

Linguaskill Business from Cambridge provides employers with an online, on-demand and internationally recognised way to assess workplace English proficiency, supporting more informed decisions in recruitment, employee development and career progression.<\/p>\n

\n

Developed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge, Linguaskill Business combines Cambridge’s expertise in language assessment with artificial intelligence and computer-adaptive technology to deliver accurate and reliable results.<\/p>\n

From hiring decisions to workforce development<\/p>\n

English proficiency can affect how effectively employees participate in meetings, deliver presentations, communicate with customers, write reports and collaborate across international teams.<\/p>\n

Linguaskill Business assesses English proficiency from B1 to C2 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), providing employers with an internationally recognised benchmark of an individual’s ability.<\/p>\n

The exam assesses four workplace communication skills: speaking, writing, reading and listening. Its modular format allows organisations to select the skills relevant to specific roles.<\/p>\n

This means employers can move from subjective assessments of whether someone has “good English” to defined proficiency requirements supported by measurable results.<\/p>\n

A practical tool for HR and business leaders<\/p>\n

Organisations can use Linguaskill Business across the employee journey, including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Recruitment and candidate selection
\u2022 Graduate and management programmes
\u2022 Employee skills benchmarking
\u2022 Learning and development needs analysis
\u2022 Internal mobility and promotion
\u2022 Measurement of language training outcomes<\/p>\n

Employers can also establish different English proficiency requirements for different roles. A customer-facing employee, for example, may require a different combination of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills from an employee whose role focuses primarily on written communication.<\/p>\n

\n

Designed for modern organisations<\/p>\n

Linguaskill Business is delivered online and on demand, allowing organisations to administer assessment when and where required.<\/p>\n

AI and computer-adaptive technology tailor the assessment to the candidate’s ability, while results are reported against CEFR levels. Candidates receive a certificate and detailed results, while organisations can access group reporting to review results across cohorts.<\/p>\n

CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is an international framework used to describe a person’s language ability. Instead of saying someone has “good English” or “intermediate English,” CEFR provides defined proficiency levels.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Cambridge<\/a>
Cambridge English<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

For employers managing teams across different functions, locations or markets, this provides a consistent framework for understanding English proficiency across the organisation.<\/p>\n

Turning English proficiency into measurable workforce capability<\/p>\n

Rather than relying solely on interviews, self-declared proficiency or different assessment approaches across departments, organisations can establish defined English standards for roles and measure employees and candidates against a common international framework.<\/p>\n

This gives HR and business leaders stronger evidence to support recruitment, development and workforce planning decisions.<\/p>\n

For organisations where English communication matters to employee performance, Linguaskill Business provides a scalable way to identify existing capability, uncover skills gaps and support targeted development.<\/p>\n
