PRELIMINARY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST
The test does not have to be done by absolute beginners.
This Preliminary Test will be treated as strictly reserved and will be used by TLC as
a partial evaluation of the linguistic skills and capabilities of each participant.
Therefore please fill in the form in all parts.
At the beginning of the course TLC teachers will ask all participants to carry out a
TULPA Test, which will allow them to express a complete and objective evaluation of
the initial level of each candidate, therefore creating a reference point for a
conclusive evaluation during the TULPA certification stage.
