Strengthening Our Partnership with Europalso

ESB International was delighted to reaffirm our long-standing and successful partnership with Europalso at a professional seminar this past weekend, represented by our Chief Executive, Tina Renshaw, and Chief Assessor, Anthea Wilson. The seminar was hosted for Europalo’s language school owners and offered a great opportunity for training, collaboration and networking.

ESB International was on hand to discuss another strong academic year, as well as outlining what the future holds for our work in Greece:

✅ 17 years of partnership – delivering high-quality ESOL International assessments for Greek learners.
✅ Innovation in assessment – from adult online assessments to our online assessor training platform, ensuring quality and accessibility.
✅ Outstanding May 2025 results:

• B1 learners achieved their best overall results since 2020.
• B2 candidates demonstrated strong language control and lexis above level expectations.
• C1 performance was among the highest since 2020, with significant improvements in writing.
• C2 candidates excelled in listening, reading and use of English skills

✅ 168 oral assessors delivered 100% error-free administration, and results were delivered faster than ever.

Looking ahead:

• A 10-year collaboration plan, ESB-designed e-certificates, and continued growth in online learning and webinars.
• ESB International will also be hosting an upcoming webinar on 6th November to support continued CPD for our online assessments.

The trip also represented Tina’s final visit to Europalso ahead of her departure from ESB International at the end of the year after 9 years as Chief Executive.

Europalso has always made ESB feel incredibly welcome, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust and partnership we continue to share. Your unwavering commitment to ESB International, and to the learners we serve, makes me incredibly proud and gives me every confidence for the years ahead. 

Tina Renshaw, Chief Executive, ESB International

Our commitment to Europalso, language school owners and learners remains unwavering. Thank you to the Europalso community for your enduring trust and partnership.
