Language certification (LILATE)
The LILATE test enables you to assess your skills in one of 4 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. The test enables you to check your ability to work in a foreign language, even at the level of simple exchanges.
Presentation of the LILATE test
LILATE© is a language assessment test that enables all professionals in the job market to evaluate a candidate's operational language skills.
It certifies these skills according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and translates them into aptitudes in a professional context.
Candidates can obtain either a certificate attesting to their ability to work in the language, or a level attestation.
Certification and aptitude to work in a foreign language is obtained from level B1 of the CEFR.
