CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is a widely recognized framework that provides a common basis for describing language proficiency in a clear, structured, and comprehensive way. The framework is used to assess language skills and levels across Europe and other parts of the world. The CEFR is divided into six levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient), each with detailed descriptions of the skills and knowledge required at that level. Contact Valeria for an assessment.
