About us
Who we are
At English Speaking Board (International) Ltd., our mission is to build confident speakers and listeners through the power of communication. We are dedicated to enhancing lives through English Language proficiency and excellent Oracy skills, enabling learners of all ages to achieve their aspirations.
We do this through our Oracy, ESOL Skills for Life and ESOL International qualifications, the majority of which are regulated by Ofqual, learner-focused assessment methodology and our fierce commitment to inclusion and accessibility.
We are an award-winning, external awarding organisation, and enjoy excellent relationships with government-funded, independent, charitable and private education providers in the UK and internationally.
