The WBT, based in Frankfurt and member of ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe), has been working in the certification area all over Europe and for more than thirty years. The certification system, set up by the WBT according to the Council of Europe framework, is standard for ten European languages, which are available at the moment (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portogues, Russian, Nederlands, Czech, Turkish).
