Language qualifications and certificates equivalences

There are many language qualifications and certificates that attest to their holders having a particular level of knowledge of a specific language. The tests that applicants have to pass to earn the above qualifications or certificates tend to stress different points, such as reading or writing skills, grammar, etc. This makes it very hard to draw a clear equivalence across all language qualifications.
For this reason, the equivalence tables below are to be construed as a guide and never be used as an exact reference.
The benchmark used  for comparison in the tables is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
