Learn how to use Verlant with confidence

Verlant is designed to help you practise interviews, improve your speaking, and build language confidence through AI-powered coaching.

The Guides page helps you understand how to use the platform properly, from starting your first session to reviewing feedback, tracking progress, and getting the most out of each AI coach.

Whether you are using Verlant as a student, graduate, professional, or part of an organisation, this page gives you a clear path through the platform.

← About Verlant

Getting started

Your first steps on Verlant

Verlant is built around three main AI coaches:

Interview AI helps you practise interview questions and receive detailed feedback on your answers.
Speech Coach helps you improve how you speak, present, and deliver ideas.
Language Coach helps you practise conversations in another language with level-based support.

To begin, choose the coach that matches what you want to improve. Each coach has its own practice flow, feedback system, and progress tracking.

You do not need to know exactly what to work on before you start. Verlant is designed to guide you through the process and show you where improvement is needed.

How to use Verlant

A clear path through each session

Step 1

Choose your coach

Start by selecting the area you want to practise.

Use Interview AI if you are preparing for interviews, applications, placements, internships, graduate roles, or professional job opportunities.
Use Speech Coach if you want to improve your clarity, confidence, delivery, pacing, or presentation style.
Use Language Coach if you want to practise speaking in another language and improve your fluency over time.

Each coach is focused on a different communication skill, so choosing the right one helps Verlant give you more relevant feedback.

Step 2

Set your practice context

Before starting a session, Verlant may ask for context. This could include details such as:

The role or company you are preparing for
The type of interview or speaking task
Your language level
The topic you want to practise
The style of feedback you need
Any uploaded documents or supporting information

Context helps Verlant understand what good performance should look like for your situation. For example, an interview answer for a finance placement should not be judged in exactly the same way as a speech for a university presentation or a beginner language conversation.

The more relevant context you provide, the more useful your feedback becomes.

Using Interview AI

Practise interview answers with detailed feedback

The Interview AI Coach helps you prepare for real interview situations by asking questions, reviewing your answers, and showing you how to improve.

You can use it to practise behavioural questions, competency questions, motivational questions, role-specific questions, and general interview preparation.

How to start an interview session

Go to the Interview AI section
Choose or create a practice session
Add any role, company, or interview details
Start answering the questions
Submit your answer for feedback
Review your score, strengths, weaknesses, and suggested improvements

Verlant will assess the quality of your answer based on how well it addresses the question, how clearly it is structured, and whether it gives enough evidence.

Uploading interview context

For stronger interview feedback, you may be able to upload or provide supporting context. This can include:

✓A job description
✓A CV
✓Role requirements
✓Company values
✓Interview stage details
✓Previous answers or preparation notes

This allows Verlant to give feedback that is more specific to the opportunity you are preparing for. Instead of giving generic advice, the coach can assess whether your answer fits the actual role and expectations.

Understanding interview feedback

After submitting an answer, Verlant may show feedback across different areas. These can include:

Overall score
Structure
Relevance
Specificity
Confidence
Impact
Strengths
Weaknesses
A better example answer
Suggested next steps

The aim is to show you not only whether the answer was strong, but why it was strong or what held it back. Use the feedback to improve your next attempt. The goal is not to get a perfect answer immediately. The goal is to make each attempt clearer, sharper, and more relevant.

Using Speech Coach

Improve the way you speak and present

The Speech Coach is designed to help you understand how you sound when speaking aloud. It can help with presentations, interviews, pitches, meetings, university tasks, workplace communication, and general confidence.

How to start a speech session

Go to the Speech Coach section
Choose the type of speech or speaking task
Add any topic or context
Record or submit your spoken response
Wait for Verlant to analyse your delivery
Review your feedback and improvement areas

The Speech Coach focuses on how your message is delivered, not just the words you use.

What Speech Coach reviews

Verlant may assess areas such as:

Clarity
Pacing
Confidence
Structure
Engagement
Filler words
Hesitation
Pauses
Delivery style
Overall presence

This helps you understand how your speaking style affects the listener. For example, a strong answer can lose impact if it is rushed, unclear, or difficult to follow. The Speech Coach helps you identify those issues and practise better habits.

How to use speech feedback

After each session, review the feedback carefully and focus on one or two improvements at a time. You may be asked to slow down, pause more effectively, make your structure clearer, reduce filler words, or add more emphasis to key points.

Try repeating the same task after reading the feedback. This helps you compare your performance and see whether your delivery improves.

Using Language Coach

Practise conversations in another language

The Language Coach helps you practise speaking in another language through realistic conversation. It is designed to support users at different levels, from beginner to intermediate to advanced.

How to start a language session

Go to the Language Coach section
Choose the language you want to practise
Select your level
Choose a scenario or conversation topic
Start the conversation with the AI coach
Submit your responses
Review corrections, suggestions, and progress

The Language Coach is built to help you practise naturally, not just memorise words.

Choosing your level

Verlant uses level-based support to make practice feel appropriate.

Beginner: you may receive more help, simpler language, translations, and suggested responses.
Intermediate: you may receive less direct support and more focus on improving fluency, accuracy, and sentence structure.
Advanced: feedback may focus more on natural phrasing, nuance, confidence, and sounding fluent.

Choosing the right level helps Verlant give you feedback that is challenging but still useful.

Understanding language feedback

Language feedback may include:

Grammar corrections
Vocabulary suggestions
Fluency feedback
Natural phrasing
Translation support
Pronunciation awareness
Confidence tracking
Progress towards the next level

Use this feedback to understand what to improve in your next response. The aim is not to avoid every mistake. The aim is to become more confident and more natural over time.

Open Language hub

Your progress

Track how you improve over time

Verlant is designed to help you see progress across multiple sessions. Your progress area may show how your performance changes over time, including improvements in structure, clarity, confidence, fluency, delivery, or interview strength.

This helps you understand whether your practice is working.

How to use the progress page

Use the progress page to review:

✓Recent sessions
✓Previous scores
✓Strengths that are improving
✓Weaknesses that keep appearing
✓Level changes
✓Coach-specific progress
✓Suggested areas to practise next

The progress page helps you move from one-off feedback to long-term improvement. Instead of treating each session separately, Verlant helps you build a picture of how your communication is developing.

Scores and feedback

What your scores mean

Scores are designed to help you understand your current performance, not define your ability permanently.

A lower score does not mean you are bad at communicating. It means there is a clear area to improve. A higher score means your response or delivery is becoming stronger, but there may still be ways to make it sharper.

Verlant uses scores to help guide your practice. The written feedback is just as important as the number.

How to get better feedback

Give enough context before starting
Answer naturally rather than trying to sound perfect
Complete full responses where possible
Review the written feedback carefully
Repeat sessions after applying improvements
Track patterns across multiple attempts

The more consistently you practise, the more useful your progress data becomes.

Uploads and context

When to upload documents

Some areas of Verlant may allow you to upload documents or add written context. This is useful when you want feedback that is tailored to a specific goal.

For interview preparation, uploading a CV or job description can help Verlant understand what role you are targeting.
For speech practice, adding the topic or purpose of the speech can help the coach judge whether your delivery fits the situation.
For language practice, choosing the correct scenario or level helps the coach respond more appropriately.

What to include in your context

Useful context can include:

What you are preparing for
Who the audience is
What role, company, or course you are targeting
What level you are currently at
What you want feedback on
Any specific worries or goals

Good context helps Verlant give better coaching.

Organisation access

Using Verlant through a university or organisation

Some users may access Verlant through a university, employer, or organisation. If your account is connected to an organisation, you may have access to specific features, dashboards, usage limits, or assigned practice areas.

Organisation access may allow institutions to support students or members with interview preparation, speech development, and language confidence at scale.

Your individual practice experience should still feel personal. The goal is to give you useful coaching while helping organisations understand engagement and improvement across their users.

Common questions

Quick answers

Which coach should I use first?

Choose the coach based on your main goal. Use Interview AI if you are preparing for a job, placement, internship, graduate scheme, or professional interview. Use Speech Coach if you want to improve how you speak, present, or deliver ideas. Use Language Coach if you want to practise speaking another language.

Can I repeat a session?

Yes. Repeating sessions is one of the best ways to improve. Try completing a session, reviewing the feedback, then attempting the same or similar task again. This helps you see whether your answer, delivery, or fluency has improved.

Should I aim for a perfect score?

No. The goal is improvement, not perfection. A score is only useful if it helps you understand what to work on next. Focus on the feedback, patterns, and progress over time.

Why does Verlant ask for context?

Context helps Verlant give better feedback. A strong answer depends on the situation. An interview answer, presentation, and language conversation all need to be judged differently. The more Verlant understands your goal, the more relevant the coaching becomes.

What should I do after receiving feedback?

Read the feedback carefully, choose one or two areas to improve, then practise again. Trying to fix everything at once can be overwhelming. Verlant is designed to help you improve step by step.

Troubleshooting

When something goes wrong

Something is not loading

If a page or session does not load, try refreshing the page first. If the issue continues, check your internet connection and make sure you are signed in to the correct account.

My feedback is taking longer than expected

Some sessions may take longer because Verlant is analysing your response, speech, transcript, or uploaded context. Longer answers, audio submissions, and detailed evaluations may require more processing time.

My organisation access is not showing

If you are meant to have access through a university or organisation, make sure you are signed in with the correct email address. Organisation access is usually connected to the account or email provided by your institution.

My billing access is not updating

If you have recently subscribed, changed your plan, or updated payment details, your access may need a short moment to refresh. Try signing out and signing back in. If the issue remains, contact support.

Verlant works best when you use it consistently
