TOEIC Exam Preparation in Ireland | Test of English for International Communication

The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is the world’s leading English proficiency assessment for the workplace. Used by over 14,000 companies across 160 countries, the TOEIC is the standard benchmark for measuring practical English communication skills in professional environments.

At Englishour, our English courses develop the reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills that form the foundation of strong TOEIC performance. Whether you are preparing for a job application, a promotion, or a company requirement, our courses are structured to help you reach the score you need.

Introduced in 2006, the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is designed to test the everyday communication ability of learners, particularly in the workforce; based on the four skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing.

Some of the benefits of the TOEIC Exam include; 

  • Ability to communicate on a global scale, 
  • Networking with staff for greater career opportunities, 
  • Make more informed decisions in a higher position.

There are two tests, Listening and Reading or Speaking and Writing. These two tests can be done separately or together. On the two tests, the candidate scores between 10 and 990 points, which are divided by five different colour grades:

  • Gold: 860 – 990
  • Blue: 730 – 859
  • Green: 470 – 729
  • Brown: 220 – 469
  • Orange: 10 – 219

By taking part in our english language lessons, we can help students to succeed in the TOEIC exam and aim for the best possible grade.
