Trinity is an international exam board and independent educational charity that has been providing external assessments around the world since 1877.

 

Our heritage as an English language, music and drama exam board allows us to combine our understanding of performance and communication with that of language, to offer a range of qualifications in English with unique benefits.

 

Our assessments are enjoyable to prepare for, rewarding to teach and they develop the skills needed for real life.

 

 

Preparing students for a changing world

 

Life in the 21st century is more interconnected, competitive and challenging than ever. But, for people who can communicate effectively in English — in person, in writing and online — the opportunities for study and work are growing too.


Increasingly, it’s not just the language you know, it’s what you can do with that language that makes the difference to success in life.


That’s why, at Trinity College London, we build real-life communication and performance into our assessments.
