Common European Framework of Reference
The Common European Framework of Reference as issued by the European Commission is the basis for the advancement of European multilingualism. Binding levels of competency were developed for the German language on the basis of this framework.
These levels are classified as A1 for beginners, A2 for elementary, B1 for intermediate, B2 for upper intermediate, C1 as advanced, and C2 as mastery. Expath, like many other language schools, splits these levels in half to accommodate students’ time and budget planning (e.g. level A1 is split into A1.
