Welcome to TOLES^®

Test of Legal English Skills.

The TOLES exams test the specific English that lawyers who do not have English as a first language need to work successfully in international commercial law.

Commercial legal English is significantly different from everyday English, or the English needed to do a law degree with a UK or US university.

The TOLES certificates allow international lawyers and law students to provide evidence of their language skills in specific areas of knowledge that are highly valued by employers, such as international commercial negotiations, company documents and cross-border contracts drafted in English.

Studying for a TOLES certificate is good preparation for international lawyers intending to do a course for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
