accurate and reliable high stakes admissions and arrivals testing
Efficient and reliable testing that enables institutions to recruit and retain more quality international students whilst upholding academic standards.
Password tests are delivered by institutions themselves or outsourced to the Password team to securely deliver in students’ own homes.
All Password tests have been designed and developed by CRELLA, a research group of world-leading experts in English language teaching and assessment.
We help our partners professionalise their tests and move them online. This reduces costs and administrative burden and allows the flexibility to deliver tests anywhere in the world.
Password Skills Plus is our secure, at-home test designed specifically for university admission which is now used by hundreds of universities and colleges and is popular with students for its ease of access and affordability.
For an overview of what Password can offer your institution, please watch our introductory video. If you’d like to find out more, our universities and colleges page below will provide you with further information.
Password tests are administered and invigilated by institution’s own staff in person or remotely, or can be outsourced to the Password team. We provide full training on test format, preparation and delivery as well as preparation materials for students. We also provide recommended procedures for invigilation where required, recognising that educational institutions are experts in this area.
When outsourced to the Password team, tests are securely invigilated and video recorded using human proctors and proctor assistive software. All tests are then systematically reviewed by our own expert academic and compliance teams.
All test results are delivered directly to institutions through our online results platform where they can be searched, sorted, downloaded and distributed to students. Results are available in 3-5 working days and show Password scores and CEFR levels.
