ENGLISH SPEAKING BOARD (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED

The English Speaking Board as a charitable organisation has a mission to promote clear, effective oral communication at all levels by providing high quality assessments, training and services in the UK and overseas, recognising and encouraging the potential of all. In planning their activities the Trustees have kept in mind the charity commissioners' guidance on public benefit.
