Difference between LLN and English proficiency

The LLN (Language, Literacy and Numeracy) test assesses an individual’s performance in the 5 core skills, and these are: learning, reading, writing, oral communication, and numeracy. The test ensures that you have the basic skills required to complete your studies and succeed in the workplace. On the other hand, if English is not your first language, you need to show evidence that you have the required level of English proficiency before starting your intended course, as all classes at ALG are conducted in English.

Both LLN and English proficiency are equally important to ensure that you are capable in succeeding in your studies. The LLN test is required to be taken only once throughout your whole journey with ALG, and if you have not studied with us for more than 2 years, we may ask you to complete the LLN test again.
