Partnership Program
Summer 2009

Who are we?
 i-Courses.org was founded in the summer of 2008 to create a truly
     interactive platform for learning foreign languages that is convenient and
     effective for both test-takers and teachers.
 The driving forces in our team are ambition to challenge the best in the
    market place, dedication to perfection, and determination to exceed the
    expectations of our customers.
 Our team members have more than 20 years of experience in the field of
    foreign language training, complemented by comprehensive IT skills, both
    of which provided us with the capabilities to develop a web-based
    platform that meets the needs of our customers and partners


         What do we offer?
We have developed a sophisticated system that currently consists of one free
   Sample Test and two paid Full Tests that closely match the academic level
   and interface functionality of the real TOEFL® iBT exam. We also offer
   separate sections in case a test-taker needs to practice a particular
   component of the test.
Our system provides automated feedback for the Reading and Listening
   sections and allows teachers to score and provide feedback on the Speaking
   and Writing sections. The automated scoring is in full compliance with the
   scoring rubrics for all TOEFL® iBT components as published by ETS.
Currently we offer two partnership programs:

                 Standard partnership*                Premium partnership

     How it works?
Step I: i-Courses provides access to a sample representative account
Step II: Parties sign a partnership agreement
Step III: i-Courses implements i-Testing system on your website and/or
    provides access to our administrative panel through:
1.   An integrated frame on your website that will be used by your
     customers (e.g. http://www.i-courses.org/yoursite.html ) Please
     note that the integrated frame will be customized so that it looks
     similar to the other pages on your website. Also, we will provide
     you with an additional link that allows our partners and their
     teachers to access an administrative panel, where you will be able
     to monitor test taking activities, payments, teachers’ feedback, etc.
2.   A link on your website that will direct test-takers to www.i-
     Courses.org, in which case each customer that has been registered
     through that link automatically will be assigned to your account. As
     in the previous option, we will provide you with a separate link that
     will allow you and your teachers to access an administrative panel.
3.   Direct access to an administrative panel where you will be able to
     create manually accounts for your customers.
