Upon successful completion of a programme at English4real, the learner is awarded a Certificate of Completion. This certificate reflects not so much the participation in the course as rather demonstrated consistent growth in communicative competence across all core domains (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing). Completion is defined through stable engagement, measurable progress, and the ability to perform communication tasks with clarity, structure, and appropriate linguistic control.
Successful completion includes the following:
1. Consistent participation: The learner attends sessions regularly and maintains continuity in the learning process.
2. Active participation in classes: At least 90% of in-lesson tasks are completed.
3. Completion of independent work: At least 90% of assigned work outside classes is completed.
4. Portfolio-based performance: For each module, the learner completes four portfolio-based tasks covering speaking, listening, reading, and writing. These tasks reflect real communicative situations and serve as primary evidence of development. All portfolio tasks must be completed to the required standard.
5. Vocabulary development and control: Vocabulary is assessed through regular testing across modules. A minimum performance level of 70% is required. The number of assessments varies depending on the structure of the programme.
6. Final assessment: The programme concludes with a comprehensive evaluation of communicative competence, including vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. A minimum overall result of 70% is required.
Assessment is continuous and evidence-based, supported by portfolio work and structured feedback. The certificate therefore represents a verified level of communicative ability, rather than completion of a fixed number of hours.
