The Pearson GSE Partner School

What is the Pearson GSE Partner School Program?

The Pearson GSE Partner School program is a two-tiered (Silver and Gold) certification for institutions who have developed their English language learning program according to GSE standards, both of teaching and learning.

The Partner school status will allow institutions to promote themselves as certified to provide English language learning courses that are aligned to the Global Scale of English, an international language standard, to employ teachers who are trained to teach in this fashion, and have access to the best quality materials to enable students to be tracked lesson by lesson in their progress to reach their language-learning destinations.

The Pearson GSE Partner School program is a flexible service that independently benchmarks your in-house English language learning programs against a set of quality objectives. It provides your organization with a Pearson recognized quality mark that demonstrates you have met our rigorous standards for delivering quality training provision.

This handbook is for institutions seeking recognition for the standard of the English language learning programs that they deliver. Our Pearson GSE Partner Schools service is an independent benchmark that certifies that the programs being offered follow the standards expected of any Global Scale of English (henceforth GSE) alignment. This handbook describes how the service works, what the process requires and how you can apply for it.
