HSK
Academic Test Preparation Course
Pass the HSK exam level you need, and improve your overall Chinese skills
Versions
Two versions of the HSK, and how to choose
We prepare you for both, and help you choose
The HSK is changing. The exam most people know has six levels; the newer HSK 3.0 has nine: elementary (1–3), intermediate (4–6) and advanced (7–9).
Both are running during the changeover, and which one you sit depends on where and when you register. Tell us your target and your deadline, and we’ll tell you which to prepare for.
We teach both
Your course is built around the exam you will actually sit, with the materials that match it.Studied the old exam? You don’t start again
The two syllabuses don’t line up level for level, so we run two short bridge courses:- Old HSK 1 → new HSK 2: 8 lessons
- Old HSK 2 → new HSK 3: 10 lessons
The advanced band
Levels 7 to 9 are taken as one combined exam. We prepare students for it by arrangement, so do ask if that’s your target.

Practice
Academic Practice Course
Sit real HSK papers under real exam conditions, before the day that counts
Knowing Chinese is one thing. Handling the paper in front of you, in the time you’re given, is another. The Academic Practice Course is a short addition to your HSK preparation, built entirely around working through real past HSK and HSKK papers with your teacher.
It runs for 12 to 16 lessons, depending on which test you’re preparing for, and it’s designed to sit alongside or after your main course rather than replace any of it.
Real papers, real timing
You work through complete past papers at exam pace, so the format, the pacing and the pressure are all familiar long before test day.Reviewed question by question
Your teacher goes through your answers with you: what you got right, what cost you marks, and which habits are worth changing while there’s still time to change them.Built around your test
The papers you practise are chosen for the HSK level you’re sitting, and for HSKK too if you’re taking the speaking test.Not sure whether you need it? It comes up naturally in your free assessment, and it’s only worth adding if it fits your timeline. We’ll tell you honestly either way.
Invest in Yourself with an HSK Course
Join an international Chinese university, and unlock the best job opportunities
HSK is an international standardized test for non-native Chinese speakers to certify their knowledge of Mandarin. If you would like to study in China, HSK will definitely boost your admission outcome for Chinese-taught degree programs. But what do HSK levels mean? With HSK levels 1 to 3, you will be able to communicate in Chinese for daily conversation. HSK levels 4 to 6, will be very helpful when you are applying to a highly ranked university in China, but can even give you better opportunities to work at a Chinese company in a higher position, or even in a Chinese organisation in the West.
How much difference does Chinese make to a career? More than most people expect. A certified HSK level is what lets an employer put you in front of Chinese clients and partners rather than keeping you away from that work. Roles that ask for Chinese typically carry significantly higher pay than equivalent roles that don’t. The higher your certified level, the wider the range of positions open to you.

Why Chinese is worth the effort
A little context on the language behind the exam
A language you'll actually use
Mandarin has more speakers than any other language in the world, over 1.3 billion people, and not only in China, Taiwan and Singapore. Thailand is home to the largest overseas Chinese community anywhere, one that has been part of the country for some four hundred years.
Why the HSK ladder helps
Chinese shares a single writing system of more than 40,000 characters, of which roughly 3,000 are needed to read comfortably. As one number, that's daunting, which is exactly why the HSK levels exist. Each level sets a defined, reachable step, so you're never studying "Chinese" in the abstract, only the next level up.
