Test design services
- We advise on, and design discipline-specific tests for academic purposes;
- we assist in preparing learners at all levels for taking literacy tests; and
- we design tests for effective business communication.
Tests have to be contextually appropriate and relevant for use in specific localities and institutions. ICELDA therefore does not only offer complete tests to others, but also has expertise available to assist institutions, businesses and individuals in other parts of the world to develop tests that are right for their particular contexts.

Reliable tests
The reliability of our tests is discussed in accredited journals (see bibliography). TALL, for example, has reliability levels (measured in terms of a very conservative measure, Cronbach's alpha) that averages at 0.93, which is more than 20% higher than international benchmarks for high stakes tests.
New tests in the pipeline
- Test of academic literacy for disaster management at postgraduate level
- Test of academic literacy for certified financial planners
- Diagnostic test of academic literacy for postgraduate students (with Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands)
