Recognised TOEIC Test Centre (Test of English for International Communication)
The TOEIC test evaluates the capacity of non-native speakers of English to communicate in the international workplace. Developed by linguists and statisticians, the test questions are based on authentic samples of language taken from everyday situations – meetings, reports, phone calls, travel, banking, etc. Suitable for use in all lines of business, the TOEIC test measures the language competence of candidates, whatever their level or function, and gives reliable scores time after time. With more than 1.4 million candidates in the world every year, TOEIC test results are becoming the internationally recognised standard and are accepted by most American, Australian, British, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions.
