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
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 Middle East 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.
