An assessment tool similar to the TOEIC® test, the Bridge test measures English proficiency in listening and reading at beginner to intermediate levels. It is a reliable and valid assessment that is internationally recognised.
The format of the test is slightly different from the more formal TOEIC® test, and it is also shorter in length. The Bridge test has proved to be a good motivational tool to encourage beginners to proceed to the next level.
Uses of the Bridge test:
For professionals who need a rudimentary knowledge of English for use at the workplace,
As part of training programmes in companies, as an external and impartial tool to measure language skills.
Companies could hence demand Bridge scores instead of the TOEIC® certification if they are concerned with training beginners in English language learning.
