Erasmus Online Language Support OLS offers Erasmus+ students and staff the opportunity to take advantage of language support before, during and after their mobility period and to have their language skills in the language of instruction or working language evaluated.
According to the Erasmus+ guidelines, a language assessment in the language of mobility is recommended for stays of 14 days or more (before the start of the mobility).
All outgoing students (study visits and internships) are recommended to take an online language test before the start of the mobility. The language specified in the learning agreement for students or trainees is relevant for this assessment.
The result of the language assessment has no influence on the study visit or internship abroad!
After completing a language assessment, several language courses are available online .
