Indonesian A1 Proficiency Assessment
(CEFR-Aligned | Language Studies Indonesia)
Demonstrate Your Indonesian Proficiency.
You’ve completed the Survival Indonesian in 12 Days Challenge (or gained Indonesian skills through real-life use, study, or experience).
If you believe you already meet CEFR A1 (Beginner) proficiency standards, you may apply for an official Indonesian A1 Proficiency Assessment conducted by Language Studies Indonesia (LSI).
This is not a course.
This is a professional language assessment.
This A1 Proficiency Assessment evaluates your Indonesian language ability across all four core skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking, in alignment with CEFR A1 standards.
Certification is not guaranteed.
An official A1 Certificate from Language Studies Indonesia will be awarded only if the participant demonstrates sufficient proficiency across all assessed skills during the assessment process.
Please note the following important points:
- Reading and Writing are assessed independently through a timed online test.
- Listening and Speaking are assessed live via Zoom with a certified LSI instructor.
- The Listening and Speaking session will be recorded to allow for accurate post-assessment evaluation and internal quality assurance by the assessor after the session has concluded.
- Recordings are used strictly for assessment and academic review purposes in accordance with LSI’s internal standards and confidentiality policies.
Some participants may demonstrate strength in certain skills but may still not meet the required A1 proficiency level across all four skills. In such cases, a certificate will not be issued.

- Focused on real-life communication skills
- A chance to earn an official A1 Certificate based on performance
❌ What This Assessment Is NOT

✔ Have completed the Survival Indonesian Challenge and feel confident
