As a rule, language schools do not show any admission requirements, except for a certain level of language proficiency for some types of courses. On the first day of classes, testing is conducted, according to the results of which the student is assigned to a group corresponding to his level of language proficiency. Most schools use seven levels - from "zero" to professional.
In the process of training, intermediate tests are conducted monthly, which help to assess the progress of each student. Upon reaching a certain level, the student gets the right to move to a different, more complex course. After completing the course, students are given a certificate, as well as a detailed report on the results of training.
