“Students broaden their horizons with ISE Digital.”
Christina, school owner, Greece
To thrive in an English-speaking environment — whether for studying, working, or living — real-world communicative language skills are essential to succeed.
ISE Digital assesses students’ ability to interact in English in an authentic and meaningful way, through integrated reading into writing exam tasks and integrated listening into speaking tasks. This approach reflects communication in real-life interactive settings – where we use more than one language skill at a time.
The Integrated Skills in English (ISE) qualification covers all six levels of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) from A1 to C2 — so there’s a possible certificate for every stage of the language-learning journey. This provides employers, governments and educational organisations with clear evidence of the required level of English proficiency across all four key skills: reading and writing, speaking and listening.
This contemporary four-skills language exam is designed for individuals who require English language skills for their studies and professional advancement. With a strong emphasis on real-life language and the development of transferable skills for academic and career success, ISE Digital assesses the skills needed to thrive in the modern world.
ISE Digital can predict success using English in real-life interactions. The exam tasks challenge candidates to be flexible in applying their language knowledge as these skills are essential in a range of environments – from travel to study to employment.
“ISE Digital gets students talking and thinking in ways they might not do otherwise.”

Preparing for ISE Digital helps develop authentic communicative abilities and transferable skills that are crucial for academic study and employment. These skills include synthesising information, participating in interactive discussions and presenting on topics of personal interest.
Trinity College London is unique in providing comprehensive feedback on student performance. Candidates receive a detailed report for each module, which includes the CEFR level they have attained. It also offers diagnostic insights, showing strengths and areas for improvement.
Trinity's ISE Digital certificates show separate results for speaking, listening, reading and writing: the individual module scores and a CEFR level. If candidates are dissatisfied with their result, they have the flexibility to re-take one module within a 90-day period and use their best scores in their final result.
