Frequently asked questions
How is it different from the PTE?
The PTE is built for formal procedures (university, visa, migration). The PEIC certifies your everyday communicative English. If you need to meet an official requirement, look at the PTE; if you want to communicate better with a certificate to back it, the PEIC fits.
Is it useful for work?
Yes. It works on exactly the situations you meet at work: meetings, emails, calls and dealing with international clients.
