Many training organisations and language schools throughout the UK are accredited to hold TOEIC® and TFI™ test sessions for their students. These sessions are carried out on demand or on set dates. Companies may arrange for their employees to take the test on site or at one of the accredited TOEIC test centres. Individuals may take the test at one of the ETS public test centres or at one of the accredited test centres.
Public test sessions
These sessions are held every Saturday (except certain public holidays) at the ETS Europe Public Test Centre, which is located in London at the University of Westminster. Clients may wish to send their employees to public sessions rather than administering the test on their site.
On-site test administration
Clients may arrange for testing to take place on their own premises if they are suitable. These sessions may be supervised by their own staff or by staff from the local ETS representative office. Clients who wish to use their own staff to administer the test must receive training from the local representative and sign a contract agreeing to follow all ETS procedures as described in the TAP - Official TOEIC® Test Administration Procedures.
Validity of TOEIC in the UK
TOEIC® tests taken in the UK are valid and secure, and the score a candidate receives is recognised throughout the world.
The quality of the TOEIC® test is ensured by specific psychometric standards outlined in the ETS Standards for Quality and Fairness. ETS standards have been established through stringent guidelines to ensure fairness, reliability and accountability in all assessments.
Each new version of the TOEIC® test undergoes a stringent “fairness review”. This review is conducted by ETS testing experts, in collaboration with outside reviewers, to be certain that all questions are exhaustive and appropriate. Every effort is made to ensure that the test is unbiased and culturally relevant to candidates worldwide.
