Frequently asked questions

What level of English do I need to enroll?

Our courses are designed for students and professionals ranging from Intermediate (B1) to Advanced (C1/C2). Because legal terminology is dense, we recommend having at least a foundational grasp of general English grammar so you can focus your energy on the specialized legal content. During your first consultation, we can help determine which level — Foundation, Higher, or Advanced — best fits your current skills.

Is the TOLES certificate recognized in Uruguay and internationally?

Absolutely. TOLES is recognized and used by major international law firms, corporate legal departments, and translation agencies worldwide. In Montevideo, it is increasingly valued by local firms that represent international clients or operate in global markets.

What is the TOLES exam, and why is it important for my career?

TOLES is the world's leading legal English examination. Unlike general exams like IELTS or TOEFL, TOLES specifically tests the skills that law firms actually require: drafting, technical vocabulary, and professional communication. Holding a TOLES certificate proves to employers and international clients that you possess the rigorous linguistic precision needed for high-level legal work.

Are the classes online or in-person in Montevideo?

We offer maximum flexibility to suit your schedule. You can join our online sessions from anywhere, which is ideal for busy professionals. Additionally, we offer in-person classes in Montevideo for those who prefer the dynamic of a face-to-face learning environment.

Which TOLES level is right for me: Foundation, Higher, or Advanced?

Foundation: for those new to legal English, focusing on basic legal vocabulary and drafting. However, if you have high level of general English, we recommend to take the TOLES Higher course.

Higher: for those familiar with legal English vocabulary and want to refine their skills in professional scenarios.

Advanced: for professionals seeking absolute mastery and the highest level of certification recognized by international law firms.

When do the courses start?

Small groups (3 to 6 students) begin once the minimum number has been reached. You can also opt for private classes with immediate start.
