TOEFL Exam Preparation courses
Who is TOEFL for?
TOEFL evaluates the English language skills of people with a native language other than English.
If you wish to undertake university studies or to work in the United States, you will be asked your TOEFL score. In fact, the majority of colleges and universities in the United States and in English-speaking Canada use the TOEFL results in their admission procedure for foreign students. What’s more, a number of large international companies use TOEFL when recruiting employees with a native language other than English.

What does the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) involve?
Structured in the form of multiple-choice questions, the TOEFL is administered by computer (Computer-Based Test: CBT) and on paper (Paper-Based Test) in Europe. The TOEFL CBT lasts approximately four and a half hours. The Paper-Based Test lasts about three and a half hours. They are both composed of four sections that evaluate all aspects of the language.
Listening:
This first section of the TOEFL measures your aptitude for understanding English as it is spoken in North America with everyday vocabulary, expressions and grammar.
Structure:
This second section of the TOEFL measures your aptitude in recognising the appropriate language for general written English.
Reading:
The third section of the TOEFL measures your ability to understand non-specialised texts.
Writing: (= TWE – Test of Written English)
The final section of the TOEFL measures your ability to write a text in English on a specific subject. You must be able to generate, organise and support ideas using common written English in an essay format. For the TOEFL CBT, so as not to disadvantage candidates who are not familiar with the American keyboard QWERTY, you can choose either to write the essay by hand or to type it on a computer.
How long is a TOEFL preparation course?
Our TOEFL preparation courses are designed to give you the most knowledge within the least amount of time. As such you can expect to spend between 2-12 weeks on your programme, depending on your preferences and budget.
