TOEIC stands for Test of English for International Communication and is an internationally recognised test to assess the English communication abilities of non-native English speakers. This test has been conducted in more than 90 countries around the world and the total number of examinees a year is approximately 4.5 million. For companies, particularly in Asian countries, the TOEIC score can largely affect promotions and employment within the company. The test result is not described as pass/fail but scaled from 10 to 990. With this precise assessment, the reliability and consistency of this test have been highly recognised so that TOEIC is used as one of the world standards to judge the English level of a non native English speaker.

Callan Method & TOEIC Intensive

The TOEIC test consists of two parts; Listening Comprehension and Reading. At JET English College, you can be prepared for the listening section with one of the most famous and effective ways of teaching, "The Callan Method," and simultaneously, you can improve your reading skills with the TOEIC Intensive Course by focusing mostly on each part of the TOEIC Reading Section. By covering the two sections, you can aim for the highest score in the TOEIC test! The course has been developed by a non native English speaker who studied a Masters Degree in TESOL and who understands how international students should tackle the test from his experience of teaching as well as taking the TOEIC test. However, the teacher of the TOEIC course is a native English speaker, so you can naturally increase your listening skills whilst you are taking the classes for the reading section. In fact, according to statistics, students have a higher score on the listening section than the reading. Thus, whilst our 2 weeks of TOEIC Intensive Course dominantly focuses on the reading section, we teach it in English to increase your listening skills to make you achieve a higher overall mark!

Public Test vs. Institutional Test

JET English College is registered as a TOEIC Public Test Centre. Even if the name says Public, the institute can, in fact, provide the two types of test, Public and Institutional. The dates of public tests are specifically arranged by the TOEIC test organisation, so external students are allowed to take the test at the institution conducting the test, whereas the Institutional test has no specific test dates arranged by the organization, but by the institute itself, so only internal students can take the test. JET English College is a TOEIC Public Test Centre, so external students are welcome to take the test at our institute on a specific date. Because we are a Public Test Centre, an official certificate issued by ETS is provided with the test results for each examinee. In NSW, There are only 6 TOEIC Public Test Centres and 5 of them are located in the Sydney area.
