The TOEIC® test is the internationally recognised standard for the measurement of workplace English proficiency. Companies, language schools and government agencies all over the world use the TOEIC® test as a certification tool.

Companies  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® 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.
  
  Language training programs  use the TOEIC® test

• To place students in appropriate language learning courses
• To demonstrate students’ progress (the test can be taken multiple times and improvement seen in rising scores)
• To evaluate programme effectiveness
  
  Many language schools offer the TOEIC® test to individuals and companies as an external validation of language assessment.
  
  Universities and institutions of higher education  — particularly engineering and business schools — require students to take the TOEIC® test prior to graduation. Test scores demonstrate

• If specific levels of English proficiency (as a part of students' overall education) are met
• If students have sufficient English language ability to participate effectively in the international workforce once they graduate
  
  Government agencies use the TOEIC® test to document progress in English training programs and to recruit and promote employees.
