Is there a system of internationally respected language qualifications?
What specific qualifications would someone need to prove to a European prospective employer, of example, that you are proficient in Korean or Japanese or German, etc.? What are the internationally accepted ways of proving oneself for employment, etc.? Thank you in advance. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are many officially recognised language certificates and diplomas out there.
You can find more info here: Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) ALTE on Wikipedia The European Language Certificates (TELC) To document your language learning process for professional purposes, you can use the European Language Portfolio (ELP) ELP on Wikipedia - Here you'll find a list of certificates! Choose your language certificate/diploma according to your (professional) goals. If you need a certificate for academic purposes, first check which one is accepted by your university. Keep in mind, that IELTS, TOEFL and some other just have limited validity (and are expensive). Other certificates remain valid your entire lifetime ;-) Good luck!

The only qualification that actually matters is the "Christoph Clugston Seal of
Approval". If you don't have that then you don't really know how to learn, speak or teach a language. 7 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hilarious. The language learning community needs him for comic relief. To answer the question here, most languages are different in terms of certification. If all you want is something to put on your CV then it doesn't make much difference which piece of paper you have as long as it's evident that you are actually able to use the language. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

For Mandarin there is the HSK test which is from level 1 - 6.
