Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)

The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is an English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English.

It measures the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment. The scores indicate how well people can communicate in English with others in business, commerce and industry.

The test does not require specialised knowledge or vocabulary beyond that of a person who uses English in everyday work activities. It is a two-hour multiple-choice test that consists of 200 questions divided into two sections: Listening and Reading.

TOEIC testing is available for General English students at completion of Level 3 (TOEIC Bridge test) and Level 6 (TOEIC test). The TOEIC Bridge test will give you a score report to tell you how well you are progressing. When you take the TOEIC Test, you can request a Certificate of Accomplishment.

If you request the Certificate at the time of applying for the test, you will save money.
