The 30 best sources of open learning content

Training without benchmarks is a bit like moving forward blindfolded. You invest time, energy, and sometimes even large budgets without truly knowing where your employees are starting from or where they should be headed.

Discover the new content format on Edflex: the placement test, also called an assessment, that turns evaluation into a powerful personalization tool. The placement test offers each employee a simple way to identify their level, receive highly tailored content recommendations, and track their progress — all seamlessly integrated into a broader L&D strategy.

Identify Skills to Train Better: The Key to Upskilling

Many organizations still struggle to build truly tailored learning paths. Why? Because it’s hard to evaluate someone’s real starting point, adapt content accordingly, and engage learners in their own progress.

That’s where the Edflex placement test comes in. Designed as a self-assessment tool, it puts learners in control of their learning journey while providing L&D teams with a solid foundation to guide training plans.

Smart Self-Assessment to Empower the Learner

Unlike formal HR tools like certifications or skills assessments, this placement test is designed to guide employees through a quick and easy self-assessment.

In just a few minutes, learners answer a series of progressive questions — three per level, from A1 to C2 — on a specific skill. At the end of the test, they get a clear view of their current level, and most importantly, highly targeted content recommendations they can start using right away.

No more getting lost in an overflowing catalog: learners know where they stand and which course to start with. The real strength of this assessment lies in its personalized recommendation engine: learners receive tailored Edflex content suggestions that match their skill level. This way, learners can move forward at their own pace with the most relevant content.

This quick experience, which is less then 10 minutes, is both rewarding and engaging, saving valuable time.

This is also the DNA of Edflex: putting autonomy and clarity at the core of the learning experience.

Visibility and Control: A Strategic Tool for L&D Teams

Understand Levels to Take Action

Beyond the individual experience, the placement test is a powerful lever for training managers. By integrating this tool, you gain visibility into your teams' skill levels and can build far more effective training plans.

With a reporting dashboard coming soon, you’ll be able to move beyond the “one-size-fits-all” training logic.

Simplify the Evaluation and Recommendation Process

There is no need to build internal quizzes or look for external assessment tools. The test is fully embedded within your Edflex ecosystem and automatically triggers personalized content recommendations. Another strong point: it’s multilingual! The tests and recommended content are not just translated, but they’re adapted to the local and cultural specifics of each language.

This makes it an ideal tool for continuous, seamless, and measurable learning.

Track Progress and Measure Impact

The assessment can be taken as many times as necessary and empowers learners to clearly track their progress as they advance through training.

L&D managers will soon be able to monitor skill development across the organization and measure the impact of their training actions thanks to the reporting dashboard.

Beyond Evaluation: A Driver of Engagement and a Step Toward Practice

The placement test is not the end goal. It’s the starting point of a structured learning path. To make the experience even more motivating, it’s gamified:

  • Learners stay motivated with a view of their starting point and end goal
  • A progress bar encourages them to challenge themselves along the way
  • The short test duration makes it more fun and less daunting

After identifying their level and following the recommended content, learners are encouraged to go further: deepen their knowledge, develop practical skills, or even switch to more immersive formats like simulations or roleplays, another format available on Edflex.

By clarifying expectations and objectives, the assessment plays a key role in engagement. Visible progress, personalized recommendations, and motivational challenges create a virtuous circle where learners build confidence and stay committed.

The Edflex placement test is a powerful orientation tool, serving both learners and training managers. It enables precise personalization and better-managed upskilling paths.

And most of all, it gives meaning to training. Because effective learning starts with knowing where you stand.
