International proficiency scale

CEFR — the global language standard

BSL uses the CEFR framework to structure every course and certify every student. Six recognised levels from absolute beginner to full professional mastery.

A1
Beginner
The first step in any language. A1 establishes your vocabulary, pronunciation foundation, and confidence to speak in simple situations.
A2
Elementary
Practical foundations. Handle common social exchanges, understand simple messages, and communicate needs in familiar daily contexts.
B1
Intermediate
Core communicative competence. Understand clear speech, deal with travel situations, and produce organised text on familiar subjects.
B2
Upper-Intermediate
Strong professional competence. Understand complex technical and abstract texts and communicate spontaneously on a wide range of topics.
C1
Advanced
Near-mastery level. Understand extended, complex texts implicitly. Express ideas spontaneously with a high degree of fluency and precision.
C2
Mastery
Complete command. C2 represents the top of the CEFR scale — total comprehension of spoken and written language with native-speaker precision.

What Learners from Kenya & Around the World say about BSL

Trusted by students from Kenya and 96+ countries.

BSL is the best IELTS preparation institute for students in Kenya. I enrolled from Nairobi and the quality of coaching was genuinely world-class. In three months my IELTS band score improved from 5.5 to 7.0 and I secured my UK student visa. The 24×7 live online classes are ideal for students across Kenya. Highly recommend.
