Chinese Exam Preparation Courses (HSK & HSKK)

Achieve internationally recognised Chinese language qualifications

At Babel, we offer specialist training to help learners prepare for and excel in globally recognised Chinese proficiency exams. Our expert tutors provide targeted coaching to help you gain the official qualifications needed for study, work or life in Chinese-speaking environments.

Two of the most widely recognised exams are the HSK (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì) and the HSKK (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǒuyǔ Kǎoshì), both officially administered by the Chinese Testing International (CTI) and overseen by the Chinese Ministry of Education.

The HSK evaluates reading, listening, and writing skills across six levels (HSK 1–6), from beginner to advanced. It is internationally recognised by universities, employers and government bodies as proof of Mandarin proficiency, and is often required for academic admission, visa applications and professional opportunities in China and other Chinese-speaking regions.

The HSKK is the oral counterpart to the HSK and specifically assesses speaking ability. It measures pronunciation, fluency and accuracy across three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced), making it ideal for learners who need to demonstrate strong verbal communication skills in Mandarin.

Our tailored Chinese exam preparation courses are designed to:

• Familiarise learners with exam formats, task types and scoring criteria.
• Improve fluency, accuracy and exam technique across listening, reading, writing and speaking.
• Expand the vocabulary and grammar required for the target HSK/HSKK level.
• Build confidence in time-management and handling exam pressure.

For professionals, achieving HSK and HSKK certification brings concrete benefits beyond a test result. These qualifications demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively in Mandarin in business, academic and official settings, from participating in meetings and writing reports to negotiating with partners and working on assignments in Chinese-speaking regions.
