Permettant de certifier les compétences d’un candidat en langues étrangères, la certification CLOE est disponible en anglais, allemand, espagnol, italien et français langue étrangère. Pour les entreprises, elle représente un gage de crédibilité supplémentaire, puisque qu’elle porte sur la communication écrite et orale au quotidien ainsi que dans le cadre professionnel.

Quatre compétences sont mesurées : l’expression orale et écrite ainsi que la compréhension orale et écrite, avec une attention particulière portée à la structure grammaticale des phrases. D’autres éléments entrent en ligne de compte, tels que la cohésion, le vocabulaire, la prononciation ainsi que l’aptitude à dialoguer.

À savoir : la préparation à la certification CLOE est éligible au CPF. 

Quelles sont les choses à savoir sur la certification CLOE ?

L’examen associé au passage de la certification CLOE demande notamment de :

• Comprendre un texte court et d’en dégager le sens global et des détails spécifiques.

• Identifier et utiliser des expressions de la vie courante ou professionnelle.

• Comprendre un énoncé, des instructions ou des questions d’un interlocuteur anglophone.

• Employer un vocabulaire courant ou professionnel adapté à la situation de communication.

• Construire des phrases cohérentes.

• Communiquer de façon naturelle à l’oral.

Les résultats de la certification CLOE font référence au Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECRL), qui est une norme internationale permettant de décrire la compétence linguistique. Cette norme se décline selon plusieurs niveaux allant de A1, premier niveau de compréhension à C2, considéré comme le plus haut niveau.

Comment bien préparer la certification CLOE ?

• Gardez toujours à l’esprit la structure de l’examen, en sachant que vous devrez comprendre et intervenir à l’écrit comme à l’oral. Vous n’avez pas de raison d’avoir de mauvaises surprises le jour J puisque vous avez d’ores et déjà en tête que les deux aspects seront testés.

• Pendant tout le temps de votre préparation, tâchez d’échanger le plus possible dans la langue de votre future certification. Achetez des journaux, magazines et lisez des articles en ligne afin d’enrichir petit à petit votre vocabulaire.

• Le jour de l’examen, prenez le temps de lire deux fois les questions qui vous sont posées afin de ne pas faire d’erreur de compréhension.

• Apprenez à maitriser votre temps. Lors de votre préparation à la certification CLOE, n’hésitez pas à prévoir des « examens blancs » dans un temps imparti.

À savoir : la certification ouvrant droit au CPF, c’est le moment d’utiliser vos heures de formation afin de préparer sereinement votre examen. Rien de tel qu’un professeur natif pour vous encourager et faire en sorte que vous soyez parfaitement prêt(e).

At the end of your training, you completed a structured oral assessment designed to evaluate your English communication skills in a professional context. Your overall level was assessed at B2-, with the following detailed scores:

• TA (Task Achievement): B2

• CC (Coherence & Cohesion): B1

• GA (Grammar & Accuracy): B1

• VR (Vocabulary Range): B1+

• PR (Pronunciation): B2

This result reflects your ongoing development toward a full B2 level and confirms that many key components are already in place.

Progress and Achievements

You have made remarkable progress over the course of this 50-hour programme. Your improvement has been clearly visible in every lesson, and it is a direct reflection of your dedication, your consistency, and the extra work you have done outside of class.

Throughout the course, you developed:

• Greater fluency and control in speaking, especially in familiar professional situations

• Improved listening and comprehension skills, with better understanding of key ideas and details

• Stronger confidence in expressing your thoughts, both in guided and spontaneous speaking

• A much broader range of vocabulary and clearer grammatical structure in your communication

You consistently implemented feedback, actively engaged in every session, and showed clear motivation to reach your goals.

Recommendations for Continued Progress

To continue building on this strong foundation, I recommend that you:

• Practise short, time-controlled speaking tasks to gain fluency under pressure

• Keep revisiting key grammar structures in realistic contexts

• Regularly listen to English audio (podcasts, interviews, news) to further strengthen your ear

• Record yourself speaking occasionally to self-assess and correct pronunciation or phrasing

Final Comment

Alan, it has been a real pleasure to accompany you during this training. Your attitude, perseverance, and clarity of purpose have set you apart as a truly committed learner.

With your current momentum and mindset, I have no doubt that you will achieve whatever you set out to do. If you ever need a reference, I would be happy to provide one.
