  1. BulletETS TOEIC are currently conducting on line training Webinars to help TOEIC clients understand
    the new Criterion writing improvement product.

    You can attend an online discussion/demonstration and see how the product actually works.  You will need a computer which has an online connection, and you will need speakers and microphone, or telephone, to participate.  

    Please contact ETS TOEIC directly if you want further information about the Webinars, their timing and the relevance of the training to your specific Institution.

  2. BulletThe Annual Regional Conference for ETS Associate companies is to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam in July.  Hosted by the ETS parent company, test design experts are on hand to provide updates, research developments, and support to the  Associate companies in the many locations around Asia/Pacific.  

    Many issues are raised and resolved at these meetings in regard to products and services, and the ability to respond quickly to clients expressed needs, wishes, and complaints.  

    Please contact us if you have specific matters you wish us to raise on your behalf at that meeting.  Our motto is "Listening, Learning, Leading" and this is your opportunity to actively participate in the process of Language Assessment.

  1. BulletThe popular "Redesigned TOEIC" has now been released to all Authorised TOEIC Test Centres!  

    While the "Classic TOEIC" remains in print, and has been designed to be equally effective in assessing overall English language competency, the Redesigned TOEIC, with its upgraded Score reporting format has been enormously popular and tends to be the test most Candidates call for.

    Until now the Redesigned TOEIC has only been available in Australia and New Zealand through Public Test Centres.
    As a consequence, it is important for both Candidates and Test Centres to specify the Test they wish to use.  

    This release will bring all International Test Centres closer to uniformity, and Japanese and Korean students in particular will be able to take home a score on the Redesigned TOEIC Test.  

    Note: Public Centres continue to receive the latest form of the redesigned TOEIC, which is released each 28 days and tested only on Public Test Dates.

  2. BulletTOEIC News and information will now be released to this web site, instead of using a Quarterly newsletter.  As a result we expect to distribute information more quickly, to both Students and Test Centres.  

    Periodically we will summarise news and add details which are not relevant to Test Candidates, and send this information in a direct email to Authorised TOEIC Test Centres and Public Centres.   

    Please check the News page frequently to ensure the best possible service from your ETS Associates in Australia/New Zealand.
