ETS Global customises its assessments and offers consultancy expertise to suit the needs of public service organisations, employment agencies, ministries of education and other government agencies:

The TOEIC^® test measures proficiency in international business English at intermediate to advanced levels. With more than 4.5 million test takers per year, the TOEIC test is the global standard for measuring English proficiency. Besides the Listening and Reading test, the TOEIC test now includes the Speaking and Writing tests, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of a test-taker’s language skills.

TOEIC^® Practice Online: Speaking and Writing is an online resource that offers practice on speaking and writing skills. The test is accessible 24/7 from anywhere, and is scored by ETS trained raters who provide detailed feedback within 10 working days. It is an ideal tool to use in in-house language training programmes, since it provides proficiency descriptions and focuses attention on areas which require improvement. Government agencies can use the TOEIC Practice Online: Speaking and Writing to make an efficient evaluation of their employees’ language proficiency before selecting English training programmes. 

The TOEIC^® Bridge test measures English proficiency in listening and reading at beginner to intermediate levels. It is a reliable and valid assessment that is internationally recognised, and has proved to be a good motivational tool to encourage beginners to proceed to the next level. It is especially useful for professionals who require a rudimentary knowledge of English at the workplace.

The TFI™ test (Test de français international™) is a French language proficiency test for non-native speakers of French. It measures and certifies the French skills of people working in a professional context, from beginner to advanced levels. HR managers and recruiters determine minimum language requirements for specific jobs and use TFI scores to assess whether candidates are at the required level. The test is also used to assess individual progress in language training programmes, and mobility of employees.

Employment agencies: The TOEIC test can be used as a certification tool by job seekers; a valuable credential on the CV, it facilitates the job search process by giving them access to a wider job market, one that may be otherwise closed to non-speakers of English. 

Ministries of education: The Declaration of Bologna and successive agreements commit institutions of higher education across Europe to be more compatible with each other. More than ever, academic institutions need to manage their resources efficiently in order to meet the new challenges, and to continue imparting excellent standards of education.  This is where ETS can help. 

By using our objective and externally validated instruments to gather reliable and valid evidence, universities can demonstrate compatibility and meet these requirements. Moreover, by outsourcing such non-core functions as the development of these tools, they can continue to focus on their critical functions in education and research.
