FEU Cavite still the pioneer in International English Certification with the

TOEIC Tests
AEC 2015, also known as ASEAN Economic Community 2015, is a uniting of 10
ASEAN countries and all 10 countries have agreed to use English as the official
language for business. The pioneering vision of FEU Cavite ensures that it is well
equipped to handle the international trends of tomorrow.
It has been 9 years since Far Eastern University became the first University in the
Philippines to certify the English proficiency of its students with the Test of English
for International Communication or TOEIC tests. When Far Eastern University first
began using the TOEIC tests there were only 1 million test takers every year. This
year, the TOEIC program is on-track to deliver about 7 million tests in over 150
countries. While the other campuses of the FEU System intermittently use the
TOEIC assessments, one campus has remained committed to delivering a truly
international education. As of 2015, FEU Cavite retains the title of having the
longest track record in the Philippines for using international English certifications
such as TOEIC.
As the world becomes increasingly complex, graduates must display both the
technical skills and soft skills to compete in todays global workforce. Internationally
certifying the communication skills of its students by using the TOEIC tests will
ensure that employers across the globe will recognize the quality of FEU Cavite
graduates.
Over 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC tests when making
critical decisions such as hiring and promotion. Using an internationally recognized
credential, FEU Cavite ensures that its graduates will have the advantage when
applying for jobs in both the local and global setting.
The most recent results of the TOEIC tests conducted in FEU Cavite at March 2015
shows the international orientation of the FEU Cavite students. 100% of the
students from selected courses who took part in the test program stated in a survey
that they understood the value of their TOEIC test scores. The overwhelming
enthusiasm of the FEU Cavite students highlights that they are truly oriented to
think both locally and globally. The global perspectives they gain from an FEU Cavite
education show that they will become the future leaders of our country.
