TOLES Legal English Courses
TOLES is a concise modern course of legal English for international lawyers, law students or anyone with an interest in the language of law and speaks English as a second language. There are a number of publications in the series that provide a good grounding in the acquisition of legal English. Whilst it is possible to take exams, some students prefer to simply follow the material to gain practise or improve.
For those who would like to gain certification, there are three exams available: foundation, higher and advanced. Exams can be taken on numerous dates in several different countries. We specialise in exam preparation where classes are provided by a CELTA qualified UK lawyer using effective teaching methods. Teaching is provided by using elicitation, concept checking and drilling.
There is a wealth of materials available covering many areas of study providing a good base of opportunity to expand both, English skills and legal knowledge. Depending on the level and material, there are opportunities to study modules including:
The Language of:
Banking

The Lawyer’s English Language Coursebook
Assumes no existing knowledge of law and legal English and builds from a realistic starting point. The material focuses on the language of law.
“The TOLES organisation is a private legal training company which was created as a direct result of extensive consultations with a leading commercial law firm. In confidential talks with us, partners in the firm complained that law graduates holding a wide variety of English language certificates lacked the level of English required to carry out essential legal tasks. TOLES materials and exams were developed in 2000 as a direct solution to this problem.”
