Ascentis is working with Anglia Examinations to offer a suite of 10 ESOL examinations aimed at accrediting learners from early primary through to university entrance and Mastery of the language.

The QCA approved ESOL International Qualifications have been developed to map against the Common European Framework at Levels B1, B2, C1 and C2. The qualifications cover all four skills – Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and are recognised by Universities and employers throughout the UK.

The qualifications are approved by the QCA and approval details can be found on the UK National Database of Accredited Qualifications (NDAQ). 

As can be seen from the table below the QCA approved qualifications are at the top end of a full suite of qualifications aimed at helping students to progress from First Steps in ESOL through to full Internationally recognised Masters.
