TOLES means ‘Test of Legal English Skills’.

The TOLES exams 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 exams were established in 2000 and are jointly owned by Cambridge Law Studio Limited and Global Legal English Limited.

The TOLES exam certificates do not expire; they are valid for life.

We are here to support any lawyer or law student in their career in law.

We aim to support you, whatever your level of general English, and we aim for you to leave us much more proficient in legal English, more confident, and with the skills to continue to study independently in future.

We will always try to exceed your expectations of us in every area of your experience with Cambridge Law Studio.
