About the TOEIC Listening and Reading Test

For more than 30 years, the TOEIC Listening and Reading test has set the standard for assessing English-language listening and reading skills needed in the workplace.

Listening skills are important for face-to-face communication, meetings, video conferencing, podcasts and telephone conversations.
Reading skills are necessary for email, reports, newsletters and other forms of business correspondence.

Build a More Effective Workforce

The Listening and Reading test offers a common standard of measurement for comparing the language skills of current and potential employees. Test content reflects real-world tasks and provides you with the information you need to easily:

Recruit, place and promote the most qualified employees
Identify job-training requirements
Assign employees to positions overseas

When the TOEIC Listening and Reading test is taken together with the TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests, TOEIC® test scores provide an accurate measure of proficiency in all four English language skills.
