Does this course follow the new 2026 TOEFL iBT format?

Yes. It covers the task types ETS lists for the updated test, such as Complete the Words, Build a Sentence, Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview, and the 1–6 score scale.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a TOEFL score and cannot be sent to schools or used as proof of English.
