TOEIC – the certificate for your Business English

Improve your career opportunities with advanced business English skills

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 test focuses on English in the business world.

It is used as a certification tool by 14,000 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.
