How can the TOEIC® test help me? The TOEIC® test is an international standard for measuring English proficiency in the workplace and facilitates access to a wider job market. Many companies include minimum TOEIC® score requirements as a part of their recruitment process.
As opposed to the TOEFL® test that has an academic focus, the TOEIC® test measures the use of English in, and certifies your ability to work in, an international business context. The inclusion of TOEIC® scores on your CV, whether you are a student or professional, adds a dimension of international competitiveness. It facilitates your access to a wider job market, since companies often use TOEIC® scores in their recruitment decisions; it is, hence, an essential tool for non-native speakers of English looking to improve their employability.
Companies, whether they are small businesses or multinational corporations, use the TOEIC® test:
- To recruit and promote employees
- To implement a common standard of measurement across multiple corporate sites
- To assess employees' international mobility
Approximately 2000 companies in Europe and other large international groups rely on the TOEIC® test to make recruitment and training decisions. Job descriptions from companies such as Accenture, Airbus, Coca-Cola, Renault, EADS, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Unilever and NEC include minimum TOEIC® score requirements.
If you are a beginner in English language learning and want to improve your language skills, you can take language training courses in any of the ETS Europe authorised language schools in your city. A tip to help you maximise your learning experience: insist on taking the TOEIC® test before you start your course, and then again at the end - this will give you an accurate indication of the progress that you have made.
