PTE
Academic allows an applicant to schedule tests as quickly as twenty-four hours
in advance, sit a single three-hour test session and receive results within
five business days. The reading, writing, listening and speaking skills of the
applicant are recorded through an automated computer module. The results
generated are approved by the UK and Australian Governments and are accepted by
thousands of academic programmes, including Harvard, Yale and INSEAD.
TUV SUD is
the exclusive SELECT test centre for Pearson VUE to administer PTE (Pearson
Test of English) and to facilitate training targeting to test taker. Speaking
about their partnership and their plans to expand in Bangladesh, Mr. Neelan Ezhilan, TUV SUD Bangladesh Pvt. Ltd. said, “There has been a significant rise in the number of students from
Bangladesh opting to study abroad. This has resulted in an exponential growth
in demand for English proficiency exams. Applicants are on the lookout for
faster and efficient tests and our partnership with PTE is aimed at fulfilling
this requirement. The offerings of our Academy division for technical and
management professionals will be valuable in this collaboration. Looking at the
growth of PTE Academic in Bangladesh which has a potential market size of US
$10 million, launching this module in India in collaboration with TUV
SUD would be an ideal next step of
expansion as India is an important market for English proficiency exams”
