TOEIC® and TOEIC® Bridge tests
TOEIC® (TEST OF ENGLISH FOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONTM) is an ETS assessment that measures proficiency in international business English, at intermediate and advanced levels. It provides an accurate measurement of the listening, reading and grammar competencies of the candidate. With more than 4.5 million test takers per year, the TOEIC® test is the standard measurement for workplace English language proficiency worldwide.
Benefits of the TOEIC® test: - Provides an objective assessment of workplace English proficiency,
- Is a valuable credential, facilitating access to the international job market,
- Offers an internationally-accepted standard of performance,
- Is highly reliable; scores are always accurate and consistent,
- Provides a continuous scale that allows for monitoring improvement,
- Provides descriptions of typical candidate performance on work-related tasks,
- Motivates individuals to improve their English proficiency.
 
The TOEIC® Bridge test, an assessment tool similar to the TOEIC® test, measures English proficiency in listening and reading, at beginner to intermediate levels. Though the Bridge is not a certification test, it is reliable, valid and internationally recognised; it has proved to be a good motivational tool to encourage beginners to proceed to the next level. It is especially beneficial for use in secondary schools, as well as training schools.
“A particularly interesting aspect of using the TOEIC® Bridge test with young learners is that it measures their ability to use and understand language in a variety of contexts, both inside and outside the classroom."
Leif French, Professor
“ The TOEIC® Bridge test offers an excellent opportunity for our students to test their listening and reading skills. Students are also provided with a formal, documented score which is useful when they apply for jobs or enter job training programmes."
Petronella Beran, Language Class Administrator
