Prepare for the TOLES Exams
There are three levels of TOLES Exams: Foundation, Higher, Advanced. Among the three levels of exams, the TOLES Higher is the most sought after, as it can be obtained relatively easy, with a daily study of about 2 hours daily ideally over a 12-week period, avoiding the highly demanding and lengthy preparation for the TOLES Advanced Exam. Although there is no pass/fail, the exam grade is indicated on the TOLES Certificate. Taking the TOLES Exams requires good (Foundation) or very good (Higher) knowledge of general English.
The TOLES Foundation Exam
The TOLES Foundation Exam is the first out the three TOLES Exams available. As the name suggests, it is an elementary/lower intermediate level written exam that does not require a long preparation period.
The TOLES Higher Exam
The TOLES Higher is the most popular out of the three TOLES Exams. It provides its holders with a very good knowledge of legal English and the basics of specific areas of knowledge of English law. That’s why it is highly valuable by employers.
