The TOEIC Bridge® Listening and Reading tests have become an integral part of the language proficiency requirements set by WORC (Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman) for work permit applications in the Cayman Islands. Designed as a less complex alternative to the full TOEIC® exam, the TOEIC Bridge® test assesses foundational English communication skills, making it ideal for beginning to lower-intermediate learners. It provides an objective measure of proficiency while offering a stepping stone toward mastering more advanced English skills.
