            Our case studies provide real-world testing examples and applications of theoretical concepts, bridging the gap between theory and practice. They allow readers to see how other J1 Sponsors' and Agents' problems are identified, analyzed, and solved in real-life scenarios.

            By studying cases, other sponsors and agents can learn valuable lessons on what works and doesn't, avoiding potential pitfalls.

            Our case studies don't simulate real-life decision-making processes. They are the real deal. We present them here to help readers develop the ability to make informed and effective decisions that benefit all of your stakeholders. We have highlighted best practices and benchmarks, which can serve as models for improvement and innovation in student exchange programs.

            Please let us know if your organization wants to be considered for a case study!

              Why

              At Home Testing

               

              The Lightbulb Moment

              Test centers are still short staffed in places making wait times much longer.

              Test centers can be miles away. Sometimes an airplane ride away. Even another country.

              Travel to the test center and the cost of a test can be as much as a week's holiday.

              Pre-screening costs are prohibitive when calculating staff time, and training.

              Waiting for test scores can take multiple weeks.

               

              We started Academic Language Solutions - iTEP in 2016 after a combined 90 years of service devoted to the student exchange space. As formerly designated visa sponsors, we have a great deal of experience with the J1 and F1 visa programs.

              We realize first-hand how important it is to end the calls to sponsors from school administrators because students cannot understand teachers when they give directions. We know how frustrated employers can get when J1 Summer Work and Travel students are unable to understand their customers.

              Using iTEP tests will save visa sponsors and recruiting agents time and money. iTEP tests will take your organization from subjective interviews to objective measurement of English skills. Whether you are a visa sponsor or a recruiting agency responsible for recruiting students to work abroad, using iTEP tests will place your organization in a unique position with your competition through differentiation.

              So, that is why we built Academic Language Solutions - iTEP.
