Le passage de cet examen peut permettre d’accéder à des programmes d’échanges entre établissements de formation, et à terme de décrocher une expérience estudiantine et/ou professionnelle à l’étranger. C’est dans ce cadre que l’ESCT propose de passer le Password Skills Test : démontrer des compétences en langue suffisamment élevé (Niveau B2) pour vivre confortablement une expérience de quelques mois en Ecosse.
Dans le cas de l’ESCT, il incombera aux étudiants de rechercher un emploi en alternance qui permette de vivre ce genre d’expérience.
Ainsi, au-delà des techniques d’expression et de communication requise à un étudiant en Bachelor, il faudra réussir une batterie de tests pendant environ 3 heures.
