ETS Global assessments help differentiate you in the language learning market, and enable you to offer your customers an array of products that make them globally competitive.

Our assessments have a twofold benefit:

  • Convince companies to use your language training services for their training needs: Companies use the TOEIC® and TFI™ tests in their recruitment and training processes. Offering these certifications on completion of your language courses convinces companies of your reliability. Additionally, used as an external and objective measurement of effectiveness of instruction, these tests can add to your credibility
  • Attract individual learners to your school: Whether they are students looking for their first job, or professionals seeking to improve their employability, our internationally recognised assessments are valuable credentials to include on their CV. If you offer these certifications, it is an added incentive for students to take your courses

The TOEIC test measures proficiency in international business English, at intermediate to advanced levels. 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.

The TOEIC test is an essential tool for non-native speakers of English looking to improve their employability. It gives them access to a wider job market since companies often use TOEIC scores in their recruitment decisions. Encourage language learners to take the test twice, once at the beginning of the course and once at the end, thus monitoring student progress and programme effectiveness.

TOEIC® Practice Online: Speaking and Writing is an online resource that helps students gauge and practise their speaking and writing skills. It is the official practice test for the TOEIC® Speaking and Writing tests. It simulates the real testing environment and aids in familiarisation with the internet-based testing format. The test is accessible 24/7 from anywhere, and is scored by ETS trained raters who provide detailed feedback within 10 working days.

This resource is an effective support tool for planning, implementing, and monitoring language training. It provides detailed feedback that can help identify areas where further instruction is required.

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 relevant for professionals who require a rudimentary knowledge of English at the workplace. You can use this test as a tool to measure instructional effectiveness as well – the scores of all students pursuing a particular language course can be examined to analyse the quality of the course itself.

The TOEFL® iBT (Internet-Based Testing), a test of academic English proficiency, incorporates an integrated-skills approach to simulate real-life academic environments. The TOEFL iBT:

  • Measures four basic skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking
  • Uses integrated tasks that are more reflective of what we do with language in the real world
  • Is used by more than 6000 universities in the world as a criterion for admission
  • Can be used to gauge students’ current proficiency level and place them in the appropriate language course

TOEFL® Practice Online (TPO) is an official resource to help students practise their English language skills, and do their best on the TOEFL iBT. This web-based practice tool uses actual questions from previously administered TOEFL tests, thus simulating the real testing experience. It offers targeted practise on specific skills, and is accessible online 24/7. It functions as an accurate predictor of performance on the TOEFL iBT.

The TFI test (Test de français international™) is a French language proficiency test for non-native speakers of French. The TFI test results show how well you communicate in French in business environments. It is an assessment for language learners of all levels, regardless of occupation or background. The TFI test enables students to validate their French language proficiency, and compare their level against the requirements of the business environment.
