In the dynamic global business landscape, effective communication in English is paramount. Global English Speaking and Writing Exam, also known as GESWE, is designed to empower companies in identifying top-tier candidates with exemplary English language skills. GESWE serves as a comprehensive assessment tool, aligning with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) standards, ensuring a robust evaluation of both active language skills: speaking and writing.

GESWE can be deployed as a holistic assessment tool, evaluating both speaking and writing skills collectively. Alternatively, it can be utilized as two distinct modules, GESE (Global English Speaking Exam) and GEWE (Global English Writing Exam), allowing organizations to tailor assessments to their specific needs.
