Benchmarking

A benchmarking project is a programme of language assessment across a department, company, organisation, region or country.

It establishes benchmarks – standards about what levels of language ability are required for different jobs.

The BULATS benchmarking system employs BULATS tests to assess language ability, and a set of questionnaires to establish the required level of language ability for jobs.

Benefits of benchmarking

Benchmarking has a number of key benefits for organisations. These include:

  • assisting in the recruitment
  • conducting language Audits, across departments, offices, regions or globally
  • informing decisions on language training
  • helping staff with their career development

Who is this service for?

Benchmarking is of benefit to any organisation that wishes to gain more detailed information about the existing and required levels of language ability needed for specific job roles.

Because the system is so flexible and easy to use, it can be tailored to meet the needs of any company, and can be delivered on any scale.
