We work to promote multilingualism across Europe – and beyond – by supporting institutions which produce examinations and certification for language learners. Through our work we raise awareness of the benefits of a multilingual society, provide a forum in which related issues can be discussed, and set quality standards for language assessment.

ALTE has established a set of common standards for its members’ exams which cover the four stages in the test development cycle.
ALTE helps users of a wide range of languages, including less widely used languages, to set standards for learning and teaching, and supports awareness and recognition of qualifications.
Our 31 members include world-leading assessment bodies, representing the testing of 24 languages, and we have over 40 institutional affiliates and hundreds of individual affiliates.
ALTE’s projects and special interest groups bring pan-European experience to issues ranging from test development to the impact of language assessment on international migration policy.
