ITM maintains stringent English Language requirements that must be met before your admission to any ITM programme. To assist you in meeting these requirements, we have prepared a listing of free online materials. We hope you find this resource useful in your work to meet the English Language speaking, listening, writing, and reading skill requirements.  \nb. To begin, we encourage you to take one of the EF SET exams, either the 15-minute quick level check or the 50-minute exam. This will enable you to identify your starting skill level according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR), if you meet the requirements outlined by ITM, or if you need additional support with your English learning. These exams can be found here.  \nc. Questions? Suggestions? Issues? Please don't hesitate to reach out and make any issue known via [englishsupport@itg.be](englishsupport@itg.be).  \nITM English Language Proficiency Requirements  \nd. For admission to any ITM course, the minimum language requirements are proof of a TOEFL iBT score of 79-931, an IELTS score of 6.5 or other qualifying evidence (e.g. ITACE, Duolingo English test) of an English CEFR level of B2-C1 meaning a higher tier B2 or C1 . A higher tier B2 will generally mean a B2 on all components of language proficiency and would have to be evidenced2.  \n1 ITM Toefl Code = 7727  \n2 ITM accepts test results to be valid for 5 years, this means that your test results cannot exceed 5 years on the application deadline.  \ne. Native English speakers are exempt from these language requirements. Applicants whose first language is not English are exempt if they have successfully completed a higher education programme of at least 60 ECTS credits taught in English or have a higher education diploma from a Flemish Community higher education institution.  \nf. For applicants to ITM master’s programmes (MPH-HSDC & MTM): Non-native speakers who fail to attain the above language proficiency requirements but can prove a reasonable level of proficiency, i.e., iBT TOEFL score 60-78 or IELTS score  \n6.0 or CEFR B2, can be admitted if they enrol in the English Language Training Programme, Linguapolis – Antwerp, offered 2 weeks before, and again during, the MSc programme.  \ng. Also for French language proficiency (if relevant) a CEFR level C1 (DALF-C1 or equivalent) or high-B2 (DELF-B2 or equivalent) is applicable.  \nCEFR, TOEFL, IELTS, ITACE and Duolingo English test  \nh. What is the CEFR?  \ni. The Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) isan international standard for describing language ability on a six-level scale, from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This enables an easier comparison of language ability across language learners and exam types. CEFR is the standard to which the TOEFL and IELTS Scores are benchmarked. ITM typically requires a CEFR level of C1 (or high level B2) to enroll.  \ni. What is the TOEFL Exam?  \ni. Overview  \n1. The purpose of the TOEFL test is to evaluate the English proficiency of people who are non-native English speakers, primarily for academic contexts. In addition, international companies, government agencies, scholarship programs, and recruitment agencies use TOEFL scores to evaluate English proficiency.  \n2. The TOEFL has 4 sections, each with a score range of 0-30 that are added up for a total s","cbCaitif8Mr1TgDv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitif8Mr1TgDv","pdf",521421,15,"English","# Introduction\n## ITM English Language Proficiency Requirements\n## CEFR, TOEFL, IELTS, ITACE and Duolingo English test\n## English Language Preparation Materials","[{\"question\":\"What are the minimum English language requirements for admission to an ITM course?\",\"answer\":\"Admission requires evidence of TOEFL iBT 79–93, or IELTS 6.5, or other qualifying evidence such as ITACE or Duolingo indicating CEFR B2–C1.\"},{\"question\":\"How does ITM recommend determining an applicant’s starting English level?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants are encouraged to take an EF SET exam, either the 15-minute quick level check or the 50-minute exam, to identify their starting skill level using CEFR.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the CEFR describe and how is it used with TOEFL and IELTS?\",\"answer\":\"CEFR is an international six-level standard (A1 to C2) describing language ability, enabling comparison across learners and exam types; TOEFL and IELTS scores are benchmarked to CEFR.\"}]","Institute of Tropical Medicine - English Language Proficiency Resources - Table of Contents | PDF",1790756010,38]
