Companies operating globally place English proficiency at the top of their recruitment criteria. The TOEIC test of Business English, which has become a standard worldwide and is valid in more than 160 countries at over 14,000 institutions, is chosen by many to prove their language competency. Many of Istanbul's Anatolian Side residents can easily participate in TOEIC at the region's first test center located within Acıbadem University, thereby strengthening their resumes.

According to the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Future of Jobs report, social skills will become much more critical by 2030, and communication skills, including English proficiency, will play a vital role in the business world. Proving their English proficiency through internationally recognized tests will offer significant opportunities, especially for those who wish to lay the foundations of their professional life with global companies. Authorized institutions and companies in our country also sign partnerships to open up opportunities for those who want to advance their careers to the next level.

Lastly, ETS Global aims to standardize business English in Turkey and announced that they are serving at the first test center on Istanbul's Anatolian Side as part of their collaboration with Acıbadem University. ETS Global Turkey Director Akhan Özten stated, "As globalization accelerates, the need to know English is also increasing. In this context, we organize TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) tests, accepted by over 14,000 institutions in more than 160 countries, to measure skills and proficiency in business English."

"TOEIC is a career-oriented language proficiency test."

ETS Global Turkey Director Akhan Özten said, "TOEIC, a career-oriented language proficiency test, is an English test aimed at professionals and companies. It is a key to success for those who want to conduct business globally. It measures individuals' knowledge and skills in English. In this framework, we wanted to open our first test center within Acıbadem University on Istanbul's Anatolian Side to offer a unique experience for those who wish to take the test. Thus, we have created a significant convenience for those who want to take the TOEIC test from the Anatolian Side of Istanbul or its surroundings."

Vice-Rector of Acıbadem University, Prof. Dr. Güldal Süyen, mentioned that in addition to a university degree, equipping Acıbadem University graduates with 21st-century skills and preparing them for a skill-based recruitment process are priorities for Acıbadem University.

We place great importance on our collaboration with ETS Global B.V. and the opening of a corporate and public TOEIC test center within our university so that our students can certify this skill through the TOEIC test on both national and international levels and start their careers a step ahead.
