TOEFL is available in two formats

Who is this Course for?

If you’re a non-native English speaker student who wishes to study abroad, with a suitable English level, then the TOEFL exam is for you!
This is due to multiple reasons; the first, and the most important one, is that many universities only accept students who have taken this exam and gained a score that fits their required score (we’ll get into that later in the next section).

The second reason is that you want your English to be at the level of the universities you want to join. All the materials are in English and you’ll have to keep up with what the professors are saying. So, it’s a crucial aspect you need to focus on because you don’t want English to be a hindrance that holds you back from your academic success. Leveling it up is what you want.
