Our take
EnglishScore was founded as a joint venture between Blenheim Chalcot and British Council to help over 2 billion people learning English to get a new job, study abroad, or move to another country. Its app provides a free English language test, awarding individuals with an accredited certificate for employers, all in under 30 minutes.
By allowing employers to pre-screen applicants, EnglishScore improves the quality of candidates for companies, reduces costs and time associated with extensive interview and assessment sessions, and allows unbiased data to drive recruitment decisions. Currently the world's only mobile English test, the app also uses the front-camera to monitor candidates' performance and deter cheating.
As well as helping employers to supercharge their workforces, EnglishScore aims to help millions of people in unlocking the potential which the English language gives them. It also provides personalised learning recommendations to help users improve their scores, prove their ability and gain confidence before exams.
In addition, its EnglishScore Tutors online tutoring platform helps users gain confidence at work and prepare for IELTS. This approach has led EnglishScore to be used over a million times and be trusted by more than 800 companies including Caterpillar, DHL, Piralal, GMR, and Sterling.
