Test of English in International Communication (TOEIC)

ByMaria February 28, 2007

For more than 25 years, TOEIC has been used by institutions, companies, and government agencies worldwide to measure the English proficiency of non-native English-speaking people.

With more than 4.5 million test takers per year, the TOEIC test is the standard for workplace English language proficiency worldwide.

The TOEIC test is the most widely used English language test for professional English.

For additional career opportunities, overseas transfers from a local company, or dealing in international business in general, a certificate of TOEIC can be an important criterion.

I have taken the test myself while living in Japan and achieved a high score.
