What is the TOEIC ?

It is a test which evaluates your level in English. According to your score, your future school, university or employer knows whether your level is A2, B1, C1 or C2. There is no pass or fail. It is your score which determines your level, the higher the score, the higher your level is.

What does the TOEIC TEST Preparation Course consists of?

The course will be organized in 7 lessons. The lessons are not about grammar or oral skills practice they consist of taking a series of mini tests that we correct together in order to identify the pitfalls. The more skilled you become at identifying the pitfalls, the higher your score will become. One of the lessons will last longer in order to take a full mock TOEIC Test.

The idea is that when you take your TOEIC, you know what to expect. It is a bit like preparing for a race.
