Admission Process

Brief introduction to the Admission Process.

Step 1:

PROVA

On your first day at Smartys, we give you an evaluation test worth 1,600 baht, called PROVA test. This consists of 30 ‘Yes/No’ questions, vocabulary test, Use of English test and dictation. Once these tests have been marked we come to know your level of English.

Step 2:

TRIAL LESSON

Once we have assessed your abilities from the PROVA and TRIAL LESSON, then we place you into the appropriate module of the Method which has 9 books to take you to CEFR (Common European Framework References) C2 level.
