Assess language skills with precision.
The professional test creation and grading platform for Canadian language evaluators. Your experts assign CEFR, CLB, or NCLC levels, supported by tools built for their reality.
The available tools were not designed for this work.
Canadian institutions that assess language skills all face the same reality. Generic forms don't handle audio playback, don't capture recordings for oral production, and don't meet Canadian data sovereignty requirements. International platforms are hosted abroad and impose frameworks foreign to Canadian education.
Canadian evaluators need a professional platform that automates what should be automated — closed-question grading, production capture, report generation, traceability — and supports their professional judgment on the decisions that matter.
Paliero was built for this reality. A bilingual platform, hosted in Canada, PIPEDA compliant, that respects the workflows of expert evaluators and the Canadian institutions that employ them.
Built for expert evaluators.
For the final decision.
Paliero automates everything that can be automated without compromising human expertise — and preserves professional judgment for the decisions that matter.
Operational efficiency
Instant grading of closed questions (multiple choice, multi-select, fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering). Real-time capture of oral and written productions. Automatic PDF reports per candidate and Excel exports per cohort. Complete audit trail of every administrative action.
Professional judgment
The assignment of CEFR, CLB, or NCLC levels for oral and written productions. This decision remains systematically in the hands of your trained evaluators, who apply the official descriptors of the chosen framework based on their professional expertise.
Institutional accountability
Language placement decisions have professional, legal, and academic consequences for candidates. Your evaluators are accountable to their institution for these decisions. Paliero provides them with traceable data to support their judgment, never to replace it.
