GESE Home exams
GESE Grades (1–4) can now be taken at home — these are booked as GESE Home exams.
Same exam, different delivery
Whether taken face-to-face, online or at home, the content and skills assessed for all GESE exams is the same. The results and certificates for online exams are issued in line with Trinity's existing processes for exams leading to fully regulated qualifications that adhere to rigorous standards.
To accommodate the use of video conferencing, some aspects of delivery differ from in-person examiner assessments, and from centre-based online exams via Zoom.
For example, for home-based assessments the Trinity examiner also acts as an invigilator, and for candidates aged under 18, an adult chaperone must remain present.

Practise using Zoom
