The ALI English Proficiency Test

The second is a face-to-face online interview, which takes about 30 minutes to complete. Placement at ALI Level 5 (out of a total of 9 levels) is required for participation in these certificate programs. ALI Level 5 is an intermediate to high intermediate level of English proficiency. All applicants who register for, and complete the test, will receive NYU-ALI certification of their English proficiency level.
