A qualification in English for learners aged 8 to 14, ESOL for Young Learners is tested using child-friendly topics such as
parties, pen-pals and pets, for example. English language exams for Young Learners are part of a suite of International
English Qualifications and serve as a starting point for further progression to City & Guilds General English exams at a
later stage.

Written and spoken examinations can be taken independently of each other at the candidates' and/or the centre's
