The Test of Interactive English (TIE) is a modern, innovative and friendly International ESOL qualification designed for Candidates who are non-native speakers of the English language.
It is an ideal alternative to a traditional four-skills language test.
TIE takes a unique approach to language testing in which speaking, reading, listening and writing skills are considered to be inter-related: receptive language skills support and underlie productive skills – much as they tend to do in real life.
TIE exams are available in two forms, Lower TIE (for Candidates who aim to achieve CEFR levels A1-B1), and Higher TIE (CEFR levels B2-C2).
TIE qualifications are designed to complement general English language courses, and the exams are available in paper based and online formats.
