AO of the year

Dudley College testimonial

Since early 2023, English Speaking Board (International) Ltd. has proudly partnered with Dudley College of Technology, based in the West Midlands. This collaboration has empowered learners to achieve ESOL Skills for Life qualifications, significantly enhancing their language proficiency. The partnership exemplifies a commitment to a shared vision of fostering speaking and listening skills, essential for personal and professional growth. Dudley College has been able to offer learners a robust, supportive pathway to English language proficiency, and their ESOL Curriculum Manager, Michael Killin, has reflected on this partnership.

Transition and onboarding

ESB International provides a comprehensive onboarding process for all new organisations who work with us. Upon registration, you will receive a thorough induction from our team to help guide you through the transitional period if you are joining us from another Awarding Organisation.

Support and training

All centres are provided with training from a subject expert who will guide teaching staff through our qualification specifications and grade/level descriptors, as well as sharing tips on best practice. Our Customer Experience Team will also meet with exam administration staff to walk them through our online booking system.

External assessments

Our external assessments remove many of the administrative burdens, such as marking/assessing, resulting and certification, away from the educational organisation as ESB International as the Awarding Organisation handles all of these details.

Saving time and resource

We want to make the teaching our qualifications as enjoyable for the tutor as it is for the learner, and we have a collection of free-to-use resources available for ESOL tutors to use.

Success stories

Our ESOL learners have spoken glowingly about the positive effects that our qualifications have had on their lives. From speaking with their children’s school teacher, booking their appointments with the GP and writing and responding to emails, improving English language leads to profound improvements across real-life situations.

Impact on language skills

Our qualifications not only improve communication skills but also boost confidence and employability, empowering learners to engage more fully in their communities and pursue educational and career opportunities.
