HSK & HSKK

Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) is the Official Chinese Exam used to determine the fluency of non-native speakers of Chinese. HSK is the best way to get to know and test your Chinese level and is often, and increasingly, required by companies, universities or other organizations to certify the Chinese language level of an individual.

Hanyu Shuiping Kouyu Kaoshi (HSKK) literally means 'Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test'. Where HSK is a written test, testing your listening, reading, and writing skills of Mandarin Chinese, HSKK predominantly tests your speaking skills.

Not only for Chinese universities’ admission, HSK has gained further importance as it has been connected to working VISA application. Passing HSK exams entitles the applicant to additional points in the Chinese VISA Regulations Compliance System.

BCT/YCT

Looking for Chinese courses for children?Learn More

Business Chinese Test (BCT) is an international standardized test designed to assess the Chinese proficiency of non-native speakers engaged in business activities. It is especially used by companies to certify or evaluate the level of their employees. The BCT consists of a writing test and a speaking test, the writing test is divided into two levels: the BCT (A) and the BCT (B).

The Youth Chinese Test (YCT) is an international standardized test for assessing young foreign students' abilities to use Chinese in their daily and academic lives. Compared with the HSK exam, the YCT is designed for young people and begins to measure proficiency at a lower level than the HSK. YCT consists of a writing test and a speaking test. The writing test is divided into four levels, and the speaking test is divided into the Beginner Level and Intermediate Level.
