Genetic Brain Profiling & English Literacy and Numeracy Skills Assessments

ELSA Assessments

What is it?

ELSA, short for English Literacy Skills Assessment, is a language-based assessment that also incorporates basic numeracy.
ELSA measures a person’s ability to integrate listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in English. The assessment benchmarks the candidate’s current skills level against the expected competency level of an English mother tongue speaker.  Results are expressed in formal learning years in English. It is also equated to NQF levels, equivalent school grades and the CEF (Common European Framework) outcomes. The individual report maps the language strengths and weaknesses of the candidate.

Why Should You Do It?

  1. It is a tool to manage the expectations of learners, trainers, and prospective employers and to promote successful workplace communication​.

  4. Improved English proficiency is a gateway for non-mother tongue users, essential in achieving equality and better economic opportunities.
