International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) - is for legal staff that needs English to be able to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries, and to be able to deal effectively with material written in English.

ILEC is based on realistic tasks and topics that legal practitioners might expect to encounter in their daily working lives.

The exam consists of four separate papers

• Reading
• Writing
• listening
• speaking

The duration of the exam is just under 3.5 hours (not including breaks).

The Speaking test is conducted face-to-face by a Cambridge ESOL Oral Examiner and maybe on different date as of the writing test. You will receive a schedule with your speaking appointment at least 2 weeks before the examination.

Candidates must register anytime prior to the above dates.

Test results are normally issued six weeks after the test date. Levels of performance in the exam are distinguished by a range of passing and failing grades.

The passing grades are B2 Pass, C1 Pass and C1 Pass with Merit.

All candidates receive a Statement of Results showing their overall grade and their performance on each of the four papers. Candidates who achieve a passing grade will also receive a certificate awarded by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
