Trinity ESOL examination system has 12 different grades, grouped into four stages of language level. So, whatever your level is, you can have the chance to take an exam and get a certificate to that shows what your level is.

In the Initial Stage tests you just have a short conversation with the examiner. The experience, even at this early stage, helps you get more confidence at speaking your new language and interacting with a native speaker who will do his or her best to encourage you to show what you can say.

Then, progressively from one stage to the next, there are more and more tasks (for example a Topic at Elementary Stage and Text at Intermediate Stage). These are all similar to real-life tasks that you may need to do in English.

By the time you reach Advanced Stage, you should be very comfortable and proficient at using a wide range of language in most general and work and study situations.

Exams based on personal experience.

The language tasks include talking about a topic and text that you can choose. It might be a holiday, a sport, hobby, or perhaps your family, studies or work. Any subject makes an ideal topic as long as it is of interest and relevance to you.

You can relax and actually enjoy the exam at the same time as earning for yourself an international qualification.
