Keeping English Language Learners on the Road to Success in Greece!

Almost 2,000 Greek ESOL International learners carried on with their assessments this Spring thanks to ESB International ’ s innovative online offer. Most Awarding Organisations, operating in Greece took the decision to postpone or allow only online assessments in centres until face-to- face sessions are able to resume in the Summer. International ’ s online capabilities, is one of only two Awarding Organisations allowing learners to take their assessments at home or any other place of their choice. ESB ’ s intuitive and easy-to-use online assessment option using ©Cirrus Assessment offers numerous benefits such as heightened security, using fully automated proctoring/invigilation through a sophisticated artificial intelligence software: ©Proctorio, reduced carbon footprint and improved efficiency. Working tirelessly to promote ESB language qualifications at conferences and events across the country, Europalso President, George Zikopolous says: “ Every year, over 17,000 students in language schools across Greece sit ESB ESOL International assessments. Our learners are usually assessed in two examination sittings in Summer and Winter with some of our largest centres in Athens, Thessaloniki and Larissa. To be able to offer our learners the opportunity to take their assessments at home or any other place of their choice, under the present circumstances, is a fantastic achievement! ” Empowering its learners with the opportunity to gain access to further and higher education and enhance their employability is one of ESB ’ s main goals.
