• EXAMPLE: In 2011, Avant completed a four year, 18 language, Very High on the ILR scale project that was groundbreaking in many ways - the first computer-based, automatically scored tests to cover the highest ranges of the ILR scale and the first mono-lingual (no English) ILR-based tests ever developed for the client. The tests are computer-adaptive and use several innovative new item types that were specifically designed to measure those aspects of the construct that are unique to the very highest levels of the scale.

Avant's Education Services have partnered with the Department of Defense Education Activities (DoDEA) schools since 2007. Avant has successfully delivered over 20,000 STAMP tests to students attending military base schools as dependents of US military personnel, and has provided custom reporting to the agency for assessment of student proficiency and language programs throughout the DoDEA system.
