Entry Requirements for ISE Digital

The intended ISE candidate is a young person or adult, typically at secondary school or college, who is using English as a second or foreign language as part of their studies to develop their skills and improve their knowledge of a range of subject areas. 

The typical ISE candidate is aged between 11 and 19 but may be older. Candidates do not need to have taken any exams prior to taking ISE, and candidates may enter for the exam when they feel they are ready for their target level.

Changes and Amendments

• Before session submission:
   Centres can cancel or move a candidate to another exiting session via MyTrinity up to 3 UK working days before the exam date, as long as the test session has not yet been submitted.
  

Once you have submitted your booking and the closing date has passed, no changes to candidate entries are permitted. 

• After session submission:
  Once a session has been submitted, the whole session (all candidates) can be cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period.

However, even during the cooling-off period, cancellations are not allowed within 3 UK working days of the exam date.

All cancellations and amendments are subject to our terms and conditions. 

Absence through Sickness

If a candidate is sick on the day of the exam, they must contact their local or national representative. A discounted replacement exam may be offered, but this is at Trinity’s discretion.

Trinity reserves the right to consider other special cases for absence on their individual merits. Such cases may be covered under Trinity’s Special Consideration policy at trinitycollege.com/policies.

Exceptional Circumstances

If a candidate wishes to postpone an exam, the original fee will not be refunded. There are, however, special arrangements in the case of genuinely exceptional circumstances. For further information please see Trinity’s Special Consideration policy at trinitycollege.com/policies.
