The Integrated Skills in English (ISE) exam is an international English language test offered by Trinity College London. Trinity ISE tests all four English language skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing.

The ISE exam is a widely recognised test worldwide.

The exam tests your ability to interact in English through integrated reading & writing tasks and integrated speaking & listening tasks. Preparing for ISE helps you build real-life English and transferable skills which are required for academic study and employability.

There are two exam modules:

Reading & Writing and Speaking & Listening

The exam modules can be taken together, or at different times. (delete - when students are ready) Students must pass both modules to gain an ISE qualification.

ISE is available at five levels from A2 to C2 on the Common European Framework (CEFR), so there is a level for every learner.

When both modules have been passed at the same level, a Trinity Integrated Skills in English qualification is awarded and a certificate is issued.
