About the DuocUC English Program

small groups. The Program offers students the opportunity to improve their English language skills as a
work-force competency, while systematically preparing for the TOEIC BRIDGE™ Test.
About the TOEIC BRIDGE™ Test

The TOEIC BRIDGE™ Test is the ideal starting point on the path to workplace success for English
language learners. It measures the listening and reading comprehension skills used in an international

In addition to being an internationally-recognized benchmark examination, the TOEIC BRIDGE™ Test is

used by DuocUC to measure individual progress and to provide access to an internationally-recognized
certificate for all participants.
