The Oral Proficiency Interview – Computer (OPIc) is an internet-delivered test which provides valid and reliable oral proficiency testing on a large scale. It was developed in response to the increased worldwide demand for the testing of oral language proficiency. The computer delivered assessment emulates the ‘live’ OPI, but delivery of questions is through a carefully designed computer program, and via a virtual avatar. Thus, the test can be taken on demand and at a time convenient to the candidate and proctor.
Certification (via Recruitment/Invitation)
ACTFL OPIc Rater Certification is by recruitment or invitation only. ACTFL hosts OPIc Certification Workshops whenever there is an increased need for OPIc raters. If recommended, certified raters may be hired by ACTFL’s test administration partner, Language Testing International.
We are not currently certifying OPIc raters, however, if you would like to be placed on an interest list you can fill out this form. We will then contact you when the application for OPIc certification is live.
