English Language Testing

Certifying English Language knowledge in Asia

SpringBoard offers students Password - a suite of English language tests developed by English Language Testing Ltd, a subsidiary of the University of the Arts London.

The innovative online English tests balance students' (and institutions') need for convenience and accessibility with accurate and reliable results. Password tests are widely recognised by education providers across the world and the certificates are accepted by the UK Border Agency.

Password tests are an equitable and quick way to progress-check English language students or diagnose what level of English course they should be studying at. All three Password tests (Password, Password Plus and Password Intro) certify core English language knowledge, which is a powerful predictor to how students will perform when undertaking skills-based (speaking, listening and writing) instruction.

The main Password test is aligned to Common European Framework A2 to C1 (IELTS equivalent 3.0 to 6.5) and has a top score of Password Plus (IELTS 6.5 plus). It takes no longer than one hour to complete and results are delivered instantly. Certificates can also be co-branded with universities and colleges.

Every Password test is unique. As each test is downloaded via the internet, randomised questions are drawn from the vast data bank in the Password system. The tests also run on secure software so that, while the test is in progress, PCs are locked down - students cannot access applications, print pages, perform screen grabs or send emails.

Password is accessible, reliable and secure. Find out how it can benefit your school, college or university. Contact ian@sb4a.com for more information.
