TOLES - The World's Leading English Exam for Lawyers, Law Students and Legal Translators
TOLES and other Legal English Exams
Why is it important for lawyers and law students to take the TOLES examinations?
Because lawyers and law students need TOLES. International law firms know that TOLES are the world’s leading legal English exams. Of the many different English exams available, TOLES is favoured by many law firms when selecting or promoting employees. The TOLES certificates in legal English are the most accurate and relevant that you can possess.
How does the TOLES series compare with other legal English exams?
- TOLES was the first international legal English examination. TOLES is the undisputed market leader and has 10 years of proven accuracy. The accuracy of the certificates has satisfied both candidates and law firms.
- The TOLES series provides exams of differing levels. It is therefore open to candidates of all abilities who can progressively build upon their skills. Teaching centres can use this structure to offer a set of legal English courses from lower level up to advanced level and allocate their teaching staff to match their legal experience and capability.
- TOLES is 100% practical. It meets the needs of global law firms rather than being dominated by the theories of English language teachers. For this reason it is well respected by international law firms, who recognise its relevance, practicality and accuracy.
- There is no speaking element to TOLES. Law firms report that they are easily able to assess a lawyer’s oral skills at interview. Law firms are looking for evidence of:
- good understanding of written contracts
- strong drafting skills
- accurate writing in letters, opinions and emails.
- As TOLES is designed as a practical, relevant exam for use by law firms, it contains no superfluous, contrived speaking elements.
- TOLES Advanced remains an on-demand examination, enabling centres to hold the exam to suit their course dates.
- The TOLES series are no-fail exams. All students will receive a certificate and explanatory statement reflecting their ability in legal English.
- TOLES is very competitively priced, making it affordable for all candidates.
