How it works for teams

From baseline to client-ready, in one loop

Benchmark everyone, assign the practice that closes the gap, and give HR the numbers to prove it worked. Here's the loop.

1

Benchmark the team

Every employee takes an official-format mock, so you get a clear baseline for each person and the team, mapped to the same scale recruiters and clients recognise.

2

Assign and track

Set targeted drills and full mocks, then watch live progress by person and by team. Managers see who is improving and who needs a nudge, without chasing spreadsheets.

3

Prove the ROI

HR-ready reports show score gains, role and promotion readiness, and who is ready for client-facing work, so training budget is easy to justify at review time.

What your team gets

Everything HR and managers need in one place

From the first benchmark to the promotion case, the tools your people team actually uses.

Benchmark

Team baseline

Every employee takes an official-format mock, so you begin with one clear baseline score per person and for the whole team.

The business case

The score your client work depends on

English proficiency maps to real thresholds recruiters, clients and partners recognise. Here's where teams aim.

600+

Workplace baseline

The level many employers screen for, enough to handle routine email, forms and everyday workplace English.

730+

Client-ready

Competitive roles and client-facing work usually want this band, confident calls, meetings and correspondence.

800–860

Global-facing

For teams leading international projects and negotiations, where nuance and speed both matter.

860+

Standout

Strong, fluent business English, the people you put in front of your most important accounts.

Simple to run

Roll it out in four steps

No lengthy setup. From invite to first report in a single quarter.

1

Invite the team

Add people in bulk by link or SSO and group them by team or department in one admin panel.

2

Benchmark everyone

Each person takes an official-format mock, giving you one clear baseline per person and per team.

3

Assign practice

Set targeted drills and mocks by role or individual; the AI coach handles the week-to-week plan.

4

Report the gains

Export score gains and client-ready status to PDF or CSV for reviews and budget sign-off.

Fits every team

Practice that maps to the job

The same platform, pointed at the English each team actually uses.

Sales

Win in English

Sharpen Speaking & Writing for pitches, proposals and negotiation, where a 730+ makes client calls effortless.

Faster, clearer replies across chat and email, with Listening practice for support calls.

Engineering

Global collaboration

Read specs and docs with confidence and contribute in cross-border stand-ups and reviews.

Managers

Lead across borders

Presentations, reviews and stakeholder updates, the English leadership roles are measured on.

Private by default

Your team's data stays your team's

Results are for developing your people, not for sharing around.

Private results

Individual scores are visible only to the employee and the admins you designate, never shared publicly.

Admin controls

You decide who manages which team and who can see reports, from one admin panel.

SSO & invites

Onboard people by secure link or your single sign-on, and remove access the moment someone leaves.

Export & delete

Export your data any time, and request deletion when a program ends, it's your data.

Pick the right test

Which TOEIC test to assign each team

One platform, four tests. Match the test to what the role actually does in English, so every benchmark measures the right thing.

10–990

Listening & Reading

The core benchmark for most roles and for whole-team baselines. 200 questions, about two hours, no penalty for wrong answers. Start here for screening and promotion. See L&R.

0–200

Speaking & Writing

Assign for client-facing roles like sales, support, and account management. Scored 0–200 per skill, it rates real calls, emails, and meetings, not just multiple choice. See S&W.

30–100

TOEIC Bridge

Built for beginner to low-intermediate staff and mixed-ability groups. Each section is scored 15–50 for a 30–100 total, so early-career learners get a fair, encouraging read. See Bridge.

4-skill

TOEIC Link

ETS's newer adaptive test covers all four skills quickly, scoring each skill 0–25 and mapping it to CEFR. Good for a fast, current four-skill snapshot. See Link.

Read the number

What each TOEIC score means for the job

TOEIC Listening & Reading totals map to the CEFR levels global HR teams already use. Here is what each band can typically do at work. ETS treats these as guidelines, not rigid cut-offs, so pair them with your own judgement.

A2 · 225–545

Basic

Handles simple, routine exchanges, short internal emails, and familiar forms. Still needs support for live calls and meetings. A development starting point.

B1 · 550–780

Independent

Copes with most routine work email and calls, follows familiar meetings, and writes clear short messages. Solid for internal and back-office roles.

B2 · 785–940

Client-ready

Runs calls and meetings, handles negotiation, and writes clear correspondence with clients. This is the band most client-facing roles target.

C1 · 945–990

Advanced

Uses English flexibly and effectively across nuanced negotiation, presentations, and your most important accounts. The people you put in front of key partners.

Set the bar right

How to set a fair target score for each role

A good target comes from the job, not a round number. Four steps to a benchmark your people and your budget can both stand behind.

1

List the real tasks

Write down the English the role actually uses: internal email only, daily client calls, contract writing, or leading meetings.

2

Pick the CEFR band

Match those tasks to a level. Routine internal work sits around B1, while client-facing work usually needs B2. See our TOEIC to CEFR guide.

3

Convert to a score

Turn the band into a TOEIC target: B1 is 550+, B2 is 785+. Our score converter and what score you need pages help.

4

Benchmark and re-test

Baseline everyone, then set a re-test date. Teams practising steadily gain about +45 points a quarter, so progress is visible by the next review.

Avoid these

Common mistakes teams make with TOEIC benchmarking

The traps that make a benchmark program feel unfair or stall out, and how to sidestep them.

1

One score for everyone

A blanket target over- or under-shoots most roles. Set the bar from the English each job needs, not a single company-wide number.

2

Screening talkers on L&R alone

Listening & Reading is multiple choice. For anyone who speaks or writes to clients, add Speaking & Writing so the score reflects the real job.

3

Treating one date as final

English changes with practice and time away from it. Re-benchmark each quarter or half-year so targets and records stay current.

4

Guessing the number

Anchor targets to CEFR and job tasks, and remember ETS's own guidance that scores are guidelines, not rigid cut-offs.

Questions, answered

TOEIC for teams, straight answers

Can we use TOEIC to screen for hiring or promotion?
Yes. Across Japan and Korea, TOEIC scores are a standard benchmark on applications and internal promotion criteria, so a recognised score gives you a consistent, objective read on business English. Set a fair target for each role with a benchmark mock, then measure candidates and employees against it, alongside your own interviews.
Do you offer team or enterprise pricing?
Yes. We offer volume pricing for teams and companies, with bulk seats, centralised billing, and admin controls. Share your headcount and goals with our sales team and we will put together a plan that fits. Book a demo to see it first.
Can HR and managers see team analytics and reports?
Yes. HR and people managers get a live dashboard with the team average, per-person progress, and score gains over time. Reports are HR-ready and export to PDF or CSV for reviews, promotion cases, and budget sign-off, and you control who can see which team.
How do employees access the tests?
Employees join by invite link or company login, and we support single sign-on (SSO) for larger rollouts. They take official-format mocks and drills on any device, on their own schedule, and their results flow straight into your team dashboard.
Does it cover Speaking & Writing for client-facing roles?
Yes. TOEIC Speaking & Writing is scored on the official 0–200 scale and is the best fit for client-facing roles like sales, support, and account management. It rates how clearly someone handles calls, emails, and meetings in English, not just multiple-choice grammar, so you can assign it to the people who need it most.
Is our company data secure?
Yes. Your team's data stays private to your company, is never sold, and is used only to power your dashboard and reports. You can export it any time and request deletion when someone leaves, and access is limited to the admins and managers you approve.
What TOEIC score should we require for a client-facing role?
For client-facing work, aim for CEFR B2, which is a TOEIC Listening & Reading total of 785 or above. Many sales and support teams set a practical bar around 730+. Whichever you pick, anchor it to the English the role actually uses and add Speaking & Writing for people who talk to clients. ETS advises treating scores as guidelines rather than rigid cut-offs.
How is TOEIC Listening & Reading scored, and is there a penalty for wrong answers?
TOEIC L&R has 200 questions and takes about two hours. It is scored from 10 to 990, made up of Listening (5–495) and Reading (5–495). There is no penalty for wrong answers, so employees should answer every question, even when they are unsure.
Should we use TOEIC Bridge for beginners?
Yes. TOEIC Bridge is designed for beginner to low-intermediate learners. Bridge Listening & Reading scores each section 15–50 for a 30–100 total, which gives early-career staff a fair, encouraging benchmark. Move people onto standard Listening & Reading as they progress.
How often should we re-benchmark the team?
Most teams re-benchmark each quarter or half-year. Employees who practise steadily gain roughly 45 points a quarter, so regular re-testing both proves the ROI and keeps everyone's records current for reviews and promotion cases.
How does TOEIC map to CEFR levels?
For TOEIC Listening & Reading totals, ETS maps 225–545 to A2, 550–780 to B1, 785–940 to B2, and 945–990 to C1. Mapping to CEFR lets you line TOEIC up with the global framework many HR and L&D teams already use. See our TOEIC to CEFR guide for the full breakdown.
