TOEFL in Ethiopia
Taking the TOEFL in Ethiopia
How to register, whether to sit it at a test centre in Addis Ababa or at home, when results arrive, and how to prepare.
Test centre or Home Edition
The TOEFL iBT Home Edition is available in Ethiopia. It is the same test as the test-centre version, taken at home on your own computer and monitored online by a human proctor. For students far from Addis Ababa it is a reliable option.
You can sit the TOEFL iBT at a test centre or at home. Test-centre seats and locations in Ethiopia change over time, so the official ETS centre search inside the registration flow is the only up-to-date list. Book through your own ETS account, not a third-party broker.
How to register and sit the test
- 1 Create your ETS account
Register on the official ETS website. This is the only authorised way to book; avoid third-party brokers who add fees or sell the test on your behalf.
- 2 Choose test centre or Home Edition
Pick a test-centre seat in Addis Ababa if one suits your dates, or choose the TOEFL iBT Home Edition and sit the same test at home, monitored online. Leave enough time to prepare before your date.
- 3 Prepare
Work through the Atenu TOEFL course, practising on a screen that mirrors the adaptive test, with AI feedback on Writing and Speaking.

- For the Home Edition: a quiet private room, a working webcam and microphone, and a clear desk
ETS confirms the exact identification and equipment rules when you register. Follow their instructions, since requirements can change.
