This test is a tool for assessing the level of professional English and is used worldwide (4.5 million people take the TOEIC® test each year). More than 5,500 companies around the world use the test as certification, including 2,000 in Europe. It is one of the best-known English certifications due to its age.

There are different versions of the TOEIC depending on the skills to be assessed:

The most common is the TOEIC Listening & Reading which measures the written and oral comprehension skills of intermediate to advanced level candidates. This test can also be done online. At inlingua we are running this version of the TOEIC.

The TOEIC Speaking & Writing measures the oral and written skills of candidates, who have an intermediate to advanced level.

There is also a TOEIC Bridge which is aimed at beginner to intermediate level applicants. Inlingua can provide this test as well.

All versions of the TOEIC certification are valid for 2 years.

The advantages of the TOEIC:
Adding the mention of the “TOEIC ®” score on your CV is a strong argument in a job search. For the employer, the TOEIC test provides an objective and reliable view of a candidate’s level.
The test questions are based on real situations taken from the international professional world (meetings, trips, conference calls…).

The test assesses
– General language knowledge / skills
– The general linguistic skills of the European Framework of Reference for Languages: audio-oral comprehension and written comprehension (reading)
– Professional knowledge / skills: professional lexicon, standard expressions of professional contexts

These two tests are taken on an online computer and are adaptive (the questions automatically adapt to the candidate’s level), which makes the test faster and more precise. The Linguaskill ‘Reading and Listening’ test assesses English levels from A1 to C1 + on the CEFR scale, European language levels.
The questions for the Linguaskill General test come from an everyday environment, while the Linguaskill Business is based on the life of professionals and their businesses.

The LINGUASKILL BUSINESS assessment system has international recognition in the professional environment as well as in the education sector.
The test is used in large groups to validate the English levels of employees who are taking training courses or who want to work internationally. It also has a good recognition by the large schools which accept the Linguaskill on an equal footing with the TOEIC for the validation of diplomas, hence its recognition from the recruitment and outplacement firms which are very aware of the diplomas of English.
