How to prepare for TOEIC certification

TOEIC exam preparation courses are taught in a one-on-one setting, where the intensity of the instruction can be personalized.

TOEIC - the Test of English for International Communication - comes from ETS (Educational Testing Service), just like the TOEFL test. However, unlike the TOEFL, which is more geared towards the academic language, the TOEIC exam test focuses on English in the business world.

It is used as a certification tool by 5,000 companies around the world and assesses listening and reading comprehension in Business English. The test is particularly popular with international companies, as it makes it possible to compare the language skills of every employee. Many also use the test to evaluate the effectiveness of training measures.

About the adaptive TOEIC test

Students now have the option to take the adaptive TOEIC test. The test questions are on the same difficulty level as those of the longer test, but the adaptive TOEIC test is shorter. The adaptive, online TOEIC Listening and Reading test uses the same scoring scale (from 10 to 990 points) and the same corresponding scores for the CEFR as the linear TOEIC test.
