Free placement exam and needs analysis
Placement exam and needs analysis for your whole team. A1–C2, with 1–1½ hours total and 3–5 days to finish.
Servers work village restaurants and slopeside dining at high seasonal volume, describing menus to an international, English-speaking clientele.
Your servers and bartenders practice exactly what they face in front of a guest: taking the order, describing the menu and handling allergies. Model phrases, natural-voice audio and daily correction — not grammar rules nobody repeats at the counter. The full program for servers and bartenders — the situations it rehearses, the target level and the price bands — is on the national restaurant & bar page.
Whistler's seasonal workforce is heavily international and includes a large Latin American contingent from Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia, alongside Australian and European staff. Guests are English-speaking Canadians, Americans and international visitors. Latin American employees are frequently placed into guest-facing roles quickly, which makes the first weeks of English the operational bottleneck of every season.
A2 minimum to take an order; B1 to recommend and resolve. The placement exam fixes each person's real level on the A1 to C2 scale, and daily practice is set from that starting point, not from the team average.
