Australian Defence Force English Language Profiling System (ADFELPS) is an English proficiency rating system used to assess the English language skills of students and to describe the levels of English required for target courses conducted for DCP (Defence Co-operation Program) students. ADFELPS is to be used for all DCP countries in accordance with DI(G) Pers 05-13.

ADFELPS Tests can be administered in all DCP countries. Only accredited ADFELPS raters can rate writing tests and conduct speaking tests. New ADFELPS test materials are developed at DITC and are regularly distributed throughout the region by the local Australian Language Adviser (ALA) or equivalent.

ADFELPS Rater Training Courses are usually conducted at DITC once a year, usually mid-year. To be eligible for this training, candidates should meet the selection criteria for the English Teaching Development Course (ETDC). The criteria include an ADFELPS score of Speaking 7, Listening 7, Reading 7 and Writing 7. The Rater Training course is an assessed course and all successful raters will be given an ADFELPS Rater Accreditation number.

Centres with accredited ADFELPS Raters can submit their order form for ADFELPS Test Materials to their local Australian Language Adviser (or equivalent). Test Materials are normally distributed twice a year.
