We are a TOLES approved official Training and Examination Centre.

Test of Legal English Skills (TOLES) is a series of examinations developed in conjunction with the Law Society of England and Wales with consultation of major law firms in the UK. The aim was to develop practical and industry relevant examinations for lawyers and law students.

TOLES is a direct response to industry needs. 

The examinations themselves are in three (3) level tests. These levels are:

        • TOLES Foundation (more details click below)
        • TOLES Higher (more details click below)
        • TOLES Advanced (more details click below)


The focus of the exams is on the development of commercial awareness as well as accuracy and the development of a specialist commercial legal vocabulary. The exams therefore a not a test of English law but rather test knowledge of Legal English within the context of English and international law.

      • commercial contracts drafted in English
