Appealing an EALT result

A candidate wishing to question the accuracy of an EALT result may apply for a review of the assessment. This application must be made to the Test Centre at which the test was taken and must be received within four weeks of the issue of the result.

The review takes the form of an investigation of the original assessment procedure and a re-assessment of the candidate’s test material (the EALT Test of Listening and the EALT Test of Speaking performances).

An application for a review of an EALT result will incur a fee payable at the time of application, but this fee is refunded in full in the event of an amendment to the Overall Rating.

Evaluation sheets and supporting documentation in relation to the EALTS is filed a period of time of sufficient duration to ensure that rating decisions can no longer be appealed.

Subsequent to this, all records are held at Central EALTS Administration for a pre-determined and documented period of time. 1
