IECAMP & CEFR Alignment

The IECAMP scoring system is fully aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

IECAMP offers assessments across six CEFR levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
Each test evaluates a candidate’s ability in listening, reading, speaking, and writing, with clear, level-specific descriptors outlining what learners can competently do at each stage.

Detailed descriptions for each level are provided below.

A1 (0–19) – Beginner

At the Beginner level, candidates can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and basic phrases aimed at satisfying concrete needs. They can introduce themselves and others, ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know, and things they possess. Interaction is possible when the interlocutor speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to provide assistance.

A2 (20–34) – Elementary

Elementary-level candidates can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of immediate relevance, such as basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, and employment. They can communicate in simple and routine tasks that require a direct exchange of information on familiar matters. They can also describe aspects of their background, immediate environment, and basic needs.

B1 (35–49) – Intermediate

Intermediate candidates can understand the main points of clear, standard input on familiar topics regularly encountered at work, school, or during leisure activities. They can handle most situations likely to arise while traveling in areas where the language is spoken. They are able to produce simple, connected texts on familiar or personally relevant topics and can describe experiences, events, hopes, ambitions, and plans, providing brief reasons and explanations.

B2 (50–64) – Upper-Intermediate

Upper-intermediate candidates can understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions within their field of specialization. They can interact with a level of fluency and spontaneity that allows regular communication with native speakers without significant strain. They can produce clear, detailed texts on a wide range of subjects and explain viewpoints on topical issues, outlining advantages and disadvantages of different options.

C1 (65–84) – Advanced Proficient

Advanced-proficient candidates can understand demanding, longer texts and recognize implicit meanings. They can express themselves fluently and spontaneously with minimal effort in searching for expressions. Language is used flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes. They can produce clear, well-structured, and detailed texts on complex subjects, demonstrating controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices.

C2 (85–100) – Proficient

At the Proficient level, candidates can understand virtually everything they hear or read with ease. They can summarize information from multiple spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts coherently. They can express themselves spontaneously, fluently, and precisely, conveying fine shades of meaning even in complex situations.
