Global Test of English Communication (GTEC) — Measure speaking, listening, reading and writing online

The GTEC is an online business-related English proficiency test that assesses up to four language skills — speaking, listening, reading and writing — or any combination of two. The GETC was developed by Berlitz in association with Benesse Corporation. Using sophisticated technology, the GTEC quickly and accurately measures English proficiency online and provides results with valuable information about an individual’s ability to communicate in English within a business environment.
