However, the majority of pupils do not possess a TOEFL or IELTS certificate. The good news is here.

In this post, I will provide a quick explanation of the English Proficiency Certificate, information on how to get one, and a list of colleges that accept it. What is the English Proficiency Certificate? An English Proficiency Certificate is an official university document that shows that all your subjects were taught in English at your previous university. It also indicates that you speak English well and fluently.
