Note: Because of the high stakes nature of this language proficiency test it is very important to maintain standards of test administration, marking and examining. For this reason, and in view of the limited training time available, all workshop participants will have to complete a 12-hour self study preparation prior to the workshop. Participants will be assessed on their performance (as administrators, markers, assessors or interlocutors). Only successful participants will receive a certificate of accreditation.
