Tips & Tricks about international exams
TOLES Exam: Everything You Need to Know!
The TOLES exams test the specific English that lawyers who do not have English as a first language need to work successfully in international commercial law.
Commercial legal English is significantly different from everyday English, or the English needed to do a law degree with a UK or US university.
The TOLES certificates allow international lawyers and law students to provide evidence of their language skills in specific areas of knowledge that are highly valued by employers, such as international commercial negotiations, company documents and cross-border contracts drafted in English.
We offer training courses for all international exams (Cambridge CAE, Cambridge FCE, ILEC, IELTS, BEC, TOLES, and ICFE). Book a preliminary session at contact@cursinengleza.ro.

Tips and Tricks for Job Seekers
Update your résumé to highlight transferable job skills
People talk about the importance of having “transferable skills” on your résumé all the time, but what do they really mean? Transferable skills are all of the things you’re good at that can be applied to various roles in various industries. For example, strong writing, time management, and problem-solving are all examples of what would be considered “transferable skills.” The fancier definition of this term is “an ability that isn’t highly specialized.” Non-transferable skills, often called “hard skills,” are specific to certain industries, like coding, animation, or graphic design. To show you are adaptable, generalize the skills on your résumé into three main areas: systems-oriented, people-oriented, and self-oriented.
