BEST Plus Administrator Certification

BEST Plus Administrator Certification

The BEST Plus is an individually administered face-to-face oral interview designed to
assess the English language proficiency of adult English language learners. This
workshop prepares participants to administer and score the test by providing an
overview of the development and purpose of the test, opportunities to practice
delivery and scoring, and clarification of administration and scoring issues. Participants will recognize the importance of assessing oral language proficiency and be able to administer and score the test and interpret BEST Plus scores.

BEST Plus Test Administrators must speak English at an SPL 9 or higher level.

Please note that after successfully completing this training, a BEST Plus Refresher

will be required annually.
