ILEC is an internationally recognized exam created for those who need to show their ability to communicate in the legal context with clients and professionals in other countries, and to handle information written in English.
ILEC is produced and assessed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, in collaboration with Translegal – Europe’s leading firm of lawyer-linguists. It is recognised by leading associations of lawyers including the European Company Lawyers Association, the European Law Students Association, the International Association of Young Lawyers, and the European Young Bar Association.
ILEC is an examination set at levels B2 (Vantage) and C1 (Effective operational proficiency) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Examinations at the C1 level may be used as proof of the level of language necessary to work in an international legal context or to follow a course of legal study at university level.
The late registration fee is increased by 35 EUR due to the additional administration that comes with this.
You can register online at http://examinations.britishcouncil.org from anywhere in the world, in your language school or at the British Council office in Bratislava only during the registration periods.

We accept online payments, bank transfers, postal orders, as well as payments in cash or by debit/credit cards. Please make sure you realise your payment by the last day of the registration period.

The four ILEC papers total 200 marks – each of the papers is weighted to 50 marks. Results are reported in three passing grades (C1 Pass with Merit, C1 Pass and B2 Pass) and two failing grades (Narrow Fail and Fail). Candidates´ total score is based on the candidates´ performance in all four papers. Candidates can compensate their poor performance in one part by performing well on the other components.
Statements of results are issued approximately six weeks after the examination has been taken. All candidates receive a statement of results showing their performance on each of the four papers and an overall grade, and candidates who achieve passing grades will receive an official certificate awarded by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
