The TOEFL iBT test stands for "Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Testing." Previously, the test was only available in paper-based testing or computer-based testing (CBT) format, which is no longer available. Writing the TOEFL is most often a pre-requisite for international students hoping to study in North American post secondary institutions. In addition, the score is used by government agencies, scholarship programs, and licensing agencies to assess English proficiency.

As a result, ESL learners all over the world are seeking certified teachers trained in TOEFL preparation. This comprehensive 40-hour specialization module is designed by experts in the field to provide you with a thorough background in TOEFL, as well as a number of proven strategies to help students successfully write the test.
