In the study, 40 participants participated in the implementation of TOEFL preparation courses which consisted of three parts, namely listening, structure, and reading. The analysis results showed that the average TOEFL score of the participants was 448, with the highest score reaching 540 and the lowest score of 376. Although the average score met the minimum requirements at IBIK 57 Campus, there were participants who did not reach the standard.  \nSuggestions included individual coaching, increased listening practice, strengthened knowledge of grammar and structure, reading comprehension strategies, as well as encouragement for self-study and use of additional resources.  \nKeywords: TOEFL, test, preparation, proficiency, course  \nINTRODUCTION  \nMastering all skills in English, such as reading, listening, speaking and writing, is essential for effective communication, success in education and careers, access to resources and information, international opportunities, and personal development. Comprehensive proficiency in English provides a competitive advantage and wider opportunities in a tightly connected globalized world (Rifiyanti, 2020) . Changes in global dynamics have created a greater need for English language skills in the business world. Therefore, universities have had to adapt their approach to teaching English to students in order for their graduates to have effective communication skills in English when engaging in an international work  \nenvironment. This reflects the importance of improving the quality of education and professional readiness to face global challenges in the world of work (Bobi & Bambang, 2023) . English language skills can be learnt through training or courses. English courses are specifically designed to help course participants develop and improve their abilities in reading, listening, speaking and writing in English (Rifiyanti & Dewi, 2022b) . To measure one's ability to use and understand English at an academic level, one can take tests that provide intensive hands-on learning programs, such as the TOEFL.  \nIt is very important to measure your level of English proficiency. This provides a clearer understanding of the extent to which one has mastered the  \n99  \n[http://ejournal.unis.ac.id/index.php/Foremost](http://ejournal.unis.ac.id/index.php/Foremost)  \nlanguage and also helps determine the areas where one needs to focus to improve (Rifiyanti, 2022) .  \nTOEFL stands for \"Test of English asa Foreign Language\" or in Indonesian,\"Test of English as a Foreign Language\" . TOEFL is an international standardized test designed to measure a person's ability to use and understand English at an academic level. It is often used as a requirement for admission to colleges or universities in countries where English is the medium of instruction. (Khurana, 2017) TOEFL consists of four main sections, namely: Reading: This section tests the ability to read and understand academic texts in English. Test takers must answer questions based on the content of the reading. Listening: This section tests the ability to listen to and understand conversations and lectures in English. Test takers must answer questions based on the information heard.
