ESB is an Awarding Organisation specialising in the award of qualifications, including Graded Examinations, Oral Presentation Skills and English for Speakers of Other Languages. We work in all kinds of educational environments, including schools, Further Education, private training providers and prisons. All our assessments are carried out by our trained assessors, and all take place within a group where each candidate is assessed as they speak and on their performance as an active listener and member of the audience for each other. ESB's mission is to promote clear, effective oral communication at all levels by providing high quality assessments, training and services in the UK and overseas, recognising and encouraging the potential of all.
