English language test welcomed in UK’s new immigration system
18 Apr 2008
The TOEFL test joins the TOEIC� test, which was accepted by UK Immigration earlier last month.
In 2007, a record 6.2 million people all over the world have registered for these exams, which will be used to certify highly skilled immigrants, particularly those candidates in science, medicine and business.
The UK's new immigration system's main elements have combined more than 80 work and study application routes into only 5 tiers. This system award points to reflect aptitude, experience, age and level of need in any given sector.
The TOEFL test, is accepted by more than 6,000 colleges and universities in 110 countries - more than three times the number of any other English-language proficiency test.
"After many decades, the English-language proficiency tests created by ETS remain the most widely used and respected tests in the world for academic and business purposes," says Executive Director for ETS Global BV in the UK, Ian Lucas.
"From university officials to corporate leaders, the TOEFL and TOEIC tests set the standard by which English-language exams are judged. Acceptance of both exams by the Border & Immigration Agency underscores this."
