"The DESI study will test students from all regions in Germany. Versant tests provide a unique opportunity to assess oral skills objectively, without expensive rating schemes, and in a very efficient way. Also, because the Versant Test Development team has conducted a study to relate Versant scores to the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Languages, we can interpret the results in a meaningful way."

"We've found Versant to be useful for both placement and tracking progress of our international students. Versant is the first really practical and reliable way for schools and employers to measure oral skills on the spot. It is a major breakthrough."

Dr. John Driscoll, Director of the American Language Program
