Steps To english proficiency series (STEPS)
Fluency's STEPs courses consist of 12 different levels designed to start wherever you or your employees are and take your English up to the next level. These levels are based on the Common European Framework of Languages (CEF).
One level is covered in 45 units of 60 minutes each. For example, a beginner's course would last for 45 units of 60 minutes each and cover chapters 1-5 in the book Living English.
If you would like to get a rough idea of your level, take our free Business English test, which may be found under the "Free Tests" tab above. (The test is off-line due to a technical problem. Please, bear with us while we sort it out.)
Like all of our courses, Fluency’s STEPS courses start with a free consultation and level testing of the participants.
Each of our levels has its own curriculum. The chart below shows the levels and their coursebooks.
