TO NATIONAL, EDUCATION AND BUSINESS EDITORS:

PRINCETON, N.J., March 7 RNewswire-Asianet/ -- The Chauncey Group International is pleased to announce the upgrading of TOEIC services and support in Australia and New Zealand. The Chauncey Group has established a representation agreement with Pro-Match Personal Profiles, Ltd., a company represented in both Australia and New Zealand.

All new and existing test products and the Tools for TOEIC series of learning products, scoring, reporting, TOEIC Certification, advice, and guidance will be local from that point in time.

Pro-Match is headed by Ken Alexander, a Psychologist and trainer, with 37 years of experience in the management of consulting services. Regarding the new TOEIC service for the region, Mr. Alexander stated, "Local representation in Australia and New Zealand will do much to improve testing arrangements, turn-around time for scoring, and the distribution of The Chauncey Group's exciting and growing range of new support products for the TOEIC test and language learning generally."
