Your school's Carna is run by your teachers, who assign the work and decide every AI grade. The Carna app is for learning on your own: it plans each lesson for you, at your pace. ### Can I sign up as an individual learner? Not yet. The Carna app is in early access and will open with a free plan. Until then there is no individual sign-up: join the early-access list and we write once, when your place opens.

Carna Test is Carna's sister product for English certification, on its own site, carnatest.com. It is an AI-first test you take from home, with no appointment and no test centre, and it certifies your level on the CEFR scale, A1 to C2. Its test types, prices and certificates are described there. ### What English levels does Carna cover? The full CEFR range from A1 to C2, in eight steps: A1 and B1 each have an extra step. The Carna app also scores eight skills on their own, each from 0 to 100: speaking, writing, reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and general English. ### Does Carna replace teachers? No. In a school, Carna marks what has an answer key and suggests the rest, and the teacher decides every grade. On your own, Carna gives you daily practice and tells you why it chose each step; a good teacher or course still matters, and the two work well together. ## Two ways into Carna. One is yours.
