ALTE is a non-profit organisation, and has Participatory Status as an NGO with the Council of Europe, and Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Our mission Setting Standards ALTE has established a set of common standards which cover all the stages of the language testing process. These standards can be applied to exams of any language, and ensure the quality of ALTE Members’ examinations. Sustaining Diversity ALTE supports the learning, teaching and assessment of a wide range of languages, and promotes the recognition of qualifications in these languages across Europe. Maximising Impact ALTE helps maximise tests’ positive impact by making the connections between policy, research and practice, between language learning, teaching and assessment, and between experts in different fields and parts of the world.
