Outcomes

Exam structure

Trinity GESE Grade 2 & Grade 3 A1 & A2
You will have a conversation with a Trinity examiner for 5 to 7 minutes.

Trinity GESE Grade 5 B1
The exam lasts for 10 minutes and there are two parts:

1) The Topic Discussion: you choose a subject that interests you and prepare in advance. In the exam, you hold a discussion on that chosen topic with the examiner.

2) The Conversation: you will talk with the examiner on two pre-selected topics.

We will help you to fully prepare for each of these exams and give you the confidence to pass.

Please note: All exams must be taken in Trinity approved SELT centres.

Content & Structure

Before starting your GESE preparation course, you will sit a test to determine your current language level. This will help us assess which areas you are good at, and which need improving. We can then calculate the number of lessons you need, helping you understand the exam structure and building your confidence.

Taking the GESE preparation course will help you:

Determine which areas need improvement
Understand how to respond to exam questions
Avoid the pitfalls in the exams
