Trinity GESE exams
ETC offers, all of its clients the opportunity to take the Trinity Graded Examination in Spoken English (GESE) exam. Any student on a General English course (or indeed any course) can sit this exam to ensure they go home with a recognised certificate at the end of their course.
Preparation for GESE is part of the Communication Programme and classes take place in the afternoon and are in addition to General English classes. Our pass rate for GESE at all levels for 2011 was 95%.

Classes include:
- research using internet
- note taking
- editing
- presentation techniques
- Q+A practice
- mock exam
- accuracy and fluency practice
- integrated skills
Examination format
The examinations take the form of a one-to-one, face-to-face oral interview between the candidate and an examiner who is a native speaker of English. The examination at each stage, and with increasing demands at each grade, replicates real-life exchanges in which the candidate and the examiner pass on information, share ideas and opinions and debate topical issues.
