What is TOLES?

The Test of Legal English Skills (TOLES) assesses the English language skills required by the legal profession and sectors related to law.

TOLES tests the following skills:

  • knowledge and use of vocabulary relevant in the global commercial market
  • writing formal letters and communicating by email
  • the ability to follow a course of legal study where the instruction is in English
  • reading and writing complex law documentation
  • the language of negotiating
  • grammatical accuracy.

The TOLES materials and exams were developed in 2000 by the TOLES organisation, a private legal training company which was created as a direct result of extensive consultations with a leading commercial law firm. The TOLES exam body is a member of the International Division of the Law Society of England and Wales.

TOLES is offered at three different levels:

  • TOLES Foundation: level Elementary - Intermediate 
  • TOLES Higher: level Intermediate - Upper Intermediate 
  • TOLES Advanced: Advanced - Proficient

Your TOLES certificate is valid for life.
