An employee at the wrong level is a wasted training budget
— it's that simple.
Generic online tests give a rough guess of level, and you invest in the wrong package based on that guess. Flalingo's 8-question adaptive CEFR test, with confidence-interval reporting, shows each employee's real level clearly — 5–8 minutes per person, in the dashboard within a week.

What mis-leveling actually costs HR
Right level → right budget → measurable ROI
HR pays for mis-leveling every year: an overwhelmed employee, half-finished training, a wasted budget. The Flalingo Corporate Check-Up fixes all four problems at the root.
I don't know who's actually at what level
All 5 skills at once, an adaptive flow
Instead of a generic 25-question online test, 8 adaptive items measure grammar, vocabulary, reading, cohesion and speaking together. The result isn't a single label: level + confidence interval (e.g. 'B1, 72% confidence, B1–B2') — and borderline employees are clearly flagged.
CEFR A1–C1, with confidence interval
I'm building my training plan on guesswork
CEFR distribution + skill breakdown in the dashboard
The whole team's level distribution on one screen. Filter by department, location or manager; an intensive program for an A2-heavy team, business English for the B2 band — you build your training plan on data, not guesswork.
Segment by department/manager
My training budget keeps leaking away
Right level = right package = right ROI
An employee placed at the wrong level either gets overwhelmed and drops off, or repeats what they already know — either way, that's your budget wasted. With accurate placement, every employee enters a package suited to their band; every dollar lands where it should, and you get measurable progress by year-end.
Lowers drop-off and overspend risk
The operational overhead sits entirely on my shoulders
HR's only job: uploading a CSV
Invitations, reminders, follow-up, report generation — all automatic. No calling employees, no Excel tracking, no IT integration. Domain-locked security drives the risk of inviting an outside person to zero.
Zero manual follow-up · 5–8 min/employee
Most online level tests return a rough guess, and you spend budget against that guess. Flalingo removes that risk with a more comprehensive, more accurate, dashboard-reportable structure that genuinely backs HR's professional training planning.
Check-Up in 3 steps
HR's only job: uploading a CSV
The bill for mis-leveling always lands on HR: an overwhelmed employee, a wasted budget, the same training search all over again. Flalingo prevents it automatically — invitations, reminders, follow-up and report generation run without you.
- ADIM 01
Upload your CSV
Download the template and fill in your employee name–email list. The system automatically filters out off-domain, invalid or personal addresses — so a bad list can't lead to a bad result.
HR effort: ~5 minutes
- ADIM 02
Automatic invites + reminders
Each employee receives a personal, one-click login link. Those who don't finish get automatic reminders on day 3 and day 7 — you never chase anyone.
Zero manual follow-up
- ADIM 03
CEFR report ready
Once all employees finish, HR gets a 'report ready' notification. CEFR distribution and skill breakdown are in your dashboard — you build the training budget on data.
5 – 7 days on average
Domain-locked security: The system only sends invitations to the corporate email domain of the HR manager who signs up (e.g. @yourcompany.com). The risk of accidentally inviting an outside person is zero.
The pedagogy behind the test
Why it's different from an ordinary online test
Generic online tests ask at a single difficulty level and return a rough guess — which leads to the wrong package and a wasted budget. Flalingo's CEFR-calibrated item bank and IRT-based adaptive flow deliver Cambridge-style placement reliability in just 5–8 minutes per employee.
Adaptive flow
- 01
Start: B1
Begins at θ = 3.0 (intermediate); shifts dynamically with each correct or incorrect answer.
- 02
8 adaptive questions
After each answer, the next question is drawn from the 5 items closest to the user's updated θ.
- 03
Level gate
If θ < 2.5, A1–A2: no speaking is shown. If θ ≥ 2.5, B1+: a short speaking section.
- 04
Result
CEFR level + confidence interval + skill breakdown. Borderline levels are flagged with a 'boundary' label.
Adaptive difficulty
The difficulty of the next question changes automatically with every answer. It's a simplified version of the IRT logic used in Cambridge, Pearson Linguaskill and TOEFL — more reliable placement in 8 questions than in 25.
IRT-based (θ updating)
Balanced measurement across 5 skills
Not just grammar: grammar, vocabulary, reading, cohesion and functional language together. Each question measures a single construct — a grammar item isn't needlessly weighed down by difficult words, and a vocab item isn't buried in tangled syntax.
8 drawn from 94 calibrated items
Calibrated distractors
Wrong options aren't random; they represent typical learner errors or words that are close but inappropriate. Answering by guessing is deliberately reduced.
Arranged by typical L2 errors
Confidence-interval result
Instead of a single label, the level + a confidence interval is reported. An employee on the borderline (e.g. between A2 and B1) automatically comes back with a 'boundary' flag — so HR doesn't route them to the wrong package.
Confidence %, range (B1–B2, etc.)
Cheat-resistant design
No correct/incorrect feedback is shown until the test ends (motivation and behavior stay intact). The question bank is server-side; the answer key is never sent to the client. The same question won't reappear for the same user within 30 days.
Server-side theta + item shuffling
Speaking only when needed
An A1–A2 employee never enters the speaking section (no wasted time). B1 and above run productive validation with Azure Pronunciation Assessment + a CEFR-calibrated AI rubric.
Adaptive speaking gate (≥ B1)
The test is not an official certificate; it's a short, pedagogically balanced CEFR estimate designed for HR placement. For borderline results, the report clearly recommends a longer version.

“We'd spent months trying to measure the English level of our 50-person team. We uploaded a CSV, and the report was on our desk in 6 days. We built our training budget on the numbers.”

“What we loved most was that the emails went out to our employees without us announcing a thing. Not a single person on my HR team had to touch it — the system reminded, reported and finished the job.”

- Most online tests run on a generic 25-question fixed format and only measure grammar. We're adaptive: 8 questions get dynamically harder based on the employee's level; grammar, vocabulary, reading, cohesion and (for B1+) speaking are assessed together. The result isn't a single label — it comes as level + confidence interval + skill breakdown. In the HR dashboard you can filter by department/manager and build your training plan on data.
The decision is yours; the data is in hand
Stop spending budget on guesswork — your team's CEFR report is in your hands within a week.
Every month, the training budget spent on a mis-leveled employee is money that might as well not have been spent. Without a single person on the HR team lifting a finger, the system invites, reminds and reports — you just route the budget to the right package.
