For nursing directors, HR and placement agencies

Know where your team stands on the way to B2.

Lingua Ace measures reading, listening, writing and speaking separately on the CEFR scale. The team report shows how many of your nurses are at B1 or B2 already and where practice stalls, before an exam costs time and money. Each nurse sees their own results in detail.

Lingua Ace is a learning app: no certificate, no pass guarantee.

Where it gets stuck today

  • The real level is unclear

    Whether someone is ready for the exam often only shows in the result. Until then there is nothing reliable in between.

  • Speaking gets too little time

    In a course each person speaks for a few minutes at most. Yet talking with patients, relatives and colleagues is what needs practice.

  • Shifts and course times clash

    Fixed course dates fall into early, late or night shifts. Learning has to fit into the gaps between them.

  • A failed exam is expensive

    The exam fee, time off for the exam and weeks until the next date. And recognition is pushed back.

What Lingua Ace does about it

  • Measured skill by skill

    Reading, listening, writing, speaking, vocabulary and grammar are each estimated on the CEFR scale, with steps within a level. The estimates come from the answers given while practising.

  • Nursing language

    Handovers, care documentation, talking with patients and relatives: vocabulary and situations from everyday work on the ward.

  • Practice along the exam's parts

    For listening, reading with language elements, writing and speaking, the app shows how far along each person is.

  • Daily, on the phone

    Short sessions that fit between two shifts. The app plans each day what comes next.

How a pilot works

A pilot shows with your own people whether Lingua Ace suits your organisation.

  1. Conversation

    We talk about who will learn, which level is the goal and by when.

  2. Setup

    You create the team and invite your nurses by email. Each person starts with a placement test.

  3. 8 weeks of use

    Your nurses practise alongside their work, on the phone or on a computer.

  4. Review

    We go through the anonymous team report together: activity and levels across the team, no individual results.

What Lingua Ace is not

  • No certificate and no pass guarantee. Your nurses take the exam with telc.
  • No replacement for professional guidance on the ward.

This record states what this learning app has measured from the learner's own answers. It follows the CEFR scale, but it is an estimate produced by software: it is not a certificate, it is not an examination, and it is not equivalent to telc, Goethe, Cambridge, IELTS or DELE.

Questions

Does the employer see individual nurses' results?

No. You see a team report with totals across the whole team, and only once the team has 5 members. Individual results, answers and recordings are seen only by the learner.

Which devices are needed?

A smartphone or a computer with a current browser. Nothing has to be installed from an app store. Speaking needs a microphone; phones have one built in.

In which language are the instructions?

The app and its instructions are available in English or German.

What happens to the details in the form?

We use them only to answer your request and delete them after 12 months. Details are in the privacy policy.

We will get in touch personally. Fields without a note are required.
