Language Testing

Language Testing & Proficiency

Finding the right candidate who speaks a second or even multiple languages is tough.

We can help.

For more than 20 years, our Language Testing Service has given our clients the confidence in their team’s language proficiency to get the job done. Our language tests are developed exclusively at TransNation and provide reliable results you can trust when evaluating a candidate’s language proficiency.

Our evaluation ratings are consistent with the Interagency Language Roundtable’s Language proficiency scale.
