Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is the TOLES exam and who should take it?
The Test of Legal English Skills (TOLES) is a specialized certification designed for law students and legal professionals. Unlike general English exams (like IELTS or TOEFL), TOLES focuses purely on the practical language used in international commercial law, such as contract drafting, negotiation, and corporate correspondence. It is ideal for anyone looking to work in global law firms or multinational legal departments.
2. Is the TOLES certificate valid for life?
Yes! One of the greatest advantages of the TOLES certification is that it does not expire. Once you achieve your certification through Legal English Innovation, it remains a permanent asset on your CV, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to professional excellence in legal English.
3. Why should I certify with Legal English Innovation instead of other centers?
Legal English Innovation was the very first school in Colombia to administer the TOLES test. As the pioneer and number one center in the country, we offer unmatched experience in the registration and preparation process. Our deep understanding of the exam’s nuances ensures that our candidates receive the most accurate training available in the region.
4. How does TOLES differ from the IELTS or TOEFL?
General exams like IELTS measure your ability to live or study in an English-speaking country. TOLES, however, measures your ability to function as a lawyer. A high score in IELTS does not guarantee success in TOLES because the latter requires specific knowledge of "Legalese," commercial idioms, and the high-stakes accuracy required by international law firms.
