TOLES® Exams
Lawyers, Law Firms & Companies
The World's Leading Legal English Certificate for Successful Law Students, Lawyers and Legal Translators since the Year 2000.
What is TOLES?
TOLES means 'Test of Legal English Skills'.
The TOLES certificates allow international lawyers and law students to prove their level of specialised legal English. This is different language from the English needed to pass a general English language exam, and it is also significantly different from the English needed to do an LLB or an LLM.
The TOLES exams test the specific vocabulary and grammar necessary to understand and draft cross-border contracts in English and the English needed to feel confident when dealing with international commercial liabilities and financial matters.
The TOLES certificates were established in 2000 and are jointly owned by Cambridge Law Studio Limited and Global Legal English Limited.
The TOLES certificates do not expire; they are valid for life.

How can a TOLES certificate help me in my legal career?
Studying for the TOLES exams will help you in your legal career from the moment that you begin.
If you are already working as a lawyer, studying for the TOLES exams will give you a lot of the English vocabulary you need to do your job with more accuracy, efficiency, and confidence.
If you are a law student, you will know that many countries around the world produce many more law graduates than there are jobs. A great way to improve your CV and to add value to what you can offer to an employer is to have strong commercial legal English skills.
From the moment you read your first TOLES practice exam paper or start one of our online preparation courses, you are learning the English needed to succeed in international commercial law.

Why should I take a TOLES exam?
- You should take a TOLES exam because the knowledge you will gain by studying for your exam will give you valuable knowledge, improve your CV and boost your confidence when you are working in legal matters that require fluent and accurate legal English.
- We take our direction from working lawyers and law firms and not from any academic institution.
- We listen to experienced commercial lawyers and we build our study material and our exams around their recommendations.
- Much of the knowledge needed to pass a TOLES exam cannot be found in a British or American law degree. This is an important 'something extra'.
- Our aim is to provide law firms, banks and corporations with lawyers who have the exact knowledge required to do the job, and not just a theoretical, academic knowledge of legal English and English law.

Results for all three of the TOLES exam results are expressed as a percentage.
An exam certificate is issued providing a candidate's score as a percentage and comes with an explanation of what that score means within a score band.
TOLES is not a 'pass or fail' exam but acts as a genuine guide to each candidate's level of legal English at the time of taking the exam.
