The leading international awarding organisation and independent education charity
Empowering learners with the skills for life, learning and work
With over 150 years of experience, our offerings stand at the intersection of heritage and modernity, comprising a globally recognised, sector–leading suite of regulated qualifications and assessments in communicative English and performing arts tailored to meet the evolving demands of learners and the modern economy.
We aim to inspire teachers and learners alike with assessments that are enjoyable to prepare for, rewarding to teach and that simultaneously develop learners with 21st century human skills.
Why governments and education leaders around the world choose Trinity
Real life skills for the modern economy
Our regulated qualifications in communicative English, music, and the performing arts support learners from early years through to adult education, across academic and vocational pathways.
Designed to build academic and real-world human skills, they can be easily integrated into existing curricula or delivered as standalone programmes to meet the changing needs of education and the workforce.
Proof of skills for study, work and life
We’re proud of the millions of learners that have earned a Trinity qualification. Our qualifications continue to provide trusted proof of the skills needed for success in education, careers, and social mobility. By assessing both academic and human skills, educators, universities, and employers have assurance and confidence in learners’ readiness for study, work, and life.
Global trust and recognition
At the forefront of our field, and working across over 80 international markets, we are a trusted education partner. We collaborate with thousands of institutions, educators, and governments to shape the future of education. With over 4,500 formal recognition agreements, our global network continues to grow.

“We choose Trinity over other exam boards because we know their level of seriousness is a guarantee of quality. Their exams are based on performance and therefore we know that our students will really learn to communicate in English, because they offer exams for everyone so each student can do the right level and type of exam.”

“The University of Córdoba (UCO) and Trinity have fruitfully collaborated for more than 30 years in connection with the Research Group HUM-1006, a special link of which the International Conference on Bilingual Education (organised yearly) and the iPlay School of Music and Languages are two examples. The mutual understanding and the social and academic impact of this collaboration are the most outstanding outcomes of this consolidated relationship. We regard Trinity as one of UCO’s most valuable collaborating institutions, to which we would like to express our most sincere thankfulness.”
