Free placement exam and needs analysis
Placement exam and needs analysis for your whole team. A1–C1, with 1–1½ hours total and 3–5 days to finish.
Front desk handles international arrivals off long-haul flights, corporate accounts from nearby technology firms and high-rate leisure guests with detailed requests. Composure and precision in English define the role.
Your front desk agents practice exactly what they face in front of a guest: check-in, complaints, upgrades and late arrivals. Model phrases, natural-voice audio and daily correction — not grammar rules nobody repeats at the counter. The full program for front desk agents — the situations it rehearses, the target level and the price bands — is on the national front desk page.
Santa Monica's hotels draw on Los Angeles County's very large Spanish-speaking hospitality workforce, many of them in unionized houses with real classification ladders. Guests are unusually international and unusually demanding, and a beachfront rate sets an expectation that every exchange at the desk, the door and the table will be effortless in English. In this market the gap between back-of-house and guest-facing pay is often exactly the language gap.
A2 as the floor; B2 for a front desk supervisor. The placement exam fixes each person's real level on the A1 to C1 scale, and daily practice is set from that starting point, not from the team average.
