Placement Test

Assessing your level of Hebrew:

In which class should you be placed?

Unless you are an absolute beginner, you will be tested for your level of proficiency in Hebrew as part of the registration process. Our assessment tests are there to ensure that you are placed in the correct study group for your level, ensuring that the learning process will start the day you walk into your first class.

Teaching modules are built to a set of benchmarks for each level. You are assessed to determine your level of proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and listening according to these benchmarks.

Assessments are carried out at our center in the Netanya Academic College, in Netanya, and for those living abroad we conduct the oral assessment over the phone and send you the written assessment by mail/email.
