The Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE) test candidates' ability in listening and speaking.

There are four Stages with three Grades at each Stage:

• Grades 1-3 (Initial stage)
• Grades 4-6 (Elementary stage)
• Grades 7-9 (Intermediate stage)
• Grades 10-12 (Advanced stage)

Integrated Skills in English examinations (ISE) assess all four language skills - Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading – interacting with each other as they do in the real world making them suitable assessments for many business and academic organisations. There are five ISE levels – ISE 0, ISE I, ISE II, ISE III, ISE IV.

ISE is accepted by academic institutions in the UK as evidence of English language proficiency for International students.

Learners can choose to take ISE exams on their own or combine them with the spoken grades (GESE) as they progress in their English language abilities.
