English level test after application at level B2
The prerequisite for studying at ATAFOM University is the minimum language level ALA-B2. Therefore, the ATAFOM English Level Test B2 is carried out after applying to study at language level B2. This language test queries the current linguistic competence in the field of English and is used to assess the current and actual language level of the applicant. The duration of this language test is 20 minutes.
If the language test at the minimum language level ALA-B2 has not been achieved, the applicant must attend an intensive online basic language course over 2 semesters before starting the bachelor’s degree.

All ALA language courses of the certification program are designed on the same level with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, so that after the completion of each course the required minimum levels can be achieved and an appropriate grade / number of points can be obtained. The planned duration of certification depends on the respective certification program and consists of online language lessons, exam preparation and testing. Each ALA language course may be repeated a maximum of two times within the supervision period if it is not passed.
Each online lesson lasts 45 minutes. Each week of learning, the language student has to independently complete the weekly tasks on the Online Campus, follow the course and prepare for the certification test in the long term using the sample test tasks. These learning activities are recorded in the online system and are part of successful course participation.
All online lessons take place in our Online Campus, which can be accessed at any time. In addition to participating in the respective language lessons, the Online Campus also offers numerous exercise options, such as

All communications with language teachers and course participants also take place via the Online Campus. Continuous use is necessary in order to achieve the learning objectives on the one hand and to comply with the regulations regarding attendance on the other. For successful course participation and for admission to the certification test, a language student must prove at least 80% of their attendance on the Online Campus. All learning activities in the Online Campus, which are recorded automatically, are taken into account.
After successful participation and passed oral and written exams, the language student receives the ALA certificate as proof of performance.
