The iTEP Advantage
“iTEP Academic-Plus is the most complete and preferred evaluation for many Mexican institutions, and now that we are part of the CENNI family, we will soon be the first and most reliable choice for all of Mexico,” stated Michael Salenko, Vice President, iTEP Intl. – Mexico.
“As iTEP continues to expand globally, receiving formal approval of our exams in each country that we provide testing to is a critical goal. This government recognition further validates the use of iTEP testing in-country to educational institutions and companies as well as to potential test takers. This is an area we are continually working on to make certain iTEP exams are officially recognized world-wide,” Said Perry Akins, Chairman of iTEP Intl.
The International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP) was introduced in 2008 to modernize English language assessment with on-demand scheduling, 24 hour grading, and accurate test data. iTEP provides a convenient and cost-effective testing option delivered in a highly secure environment.
iTEP offers a variety of assessment tools for university and secondary school admissions and ESL placement, hiring and employee assessment (including tests for specific industries), and iTEP Conversation, which assesses conversation skills in 30 minutes. All iTEP exams are graded by certified and trained native English speakers.
More than 800 colleges, universities, middle/high schools, and boarding schools in the USA and Canada accept iTEP results for admissions. Applicants can take iTEP at more than 500 test centers in 61 countries. iTEP International is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
