GEP Development History
Global Language Training was born out of an idea from a group of experienced ELT professionals who wanted to offer quality courses and proficiency exams based on more than 25 years of experience in teaching English around the world.
Sharing the academic and cultural knowledge, helping new teachers start a new voyage and guiding people through the language teaching process were the fundamental sparks that ignited the organization.
Today, more than 120,000 Global-certified teachers provide EFL education to students around the world.
The drive to develop the GEP English Exams and iTest English was a natural consequence of the academic process as requested by partner institutions familiar with Global’s online training and language teaching expertise.
Exam Design Goals
From the beginning, the design goals of the GEP English exams developed by Global were:
- 100% alignment with international standards as defined by the CEFR
- Quality exam texts and graphic materials produced by world-class designers and language academics
- Easy online deployment for institutions with minimum overhead
- Affordability by students for greater market volume
Exam Authorship
The GEP English Exams are developed and maintained by a team of international experts headed by Mr. Harold Bratovich, an educational expert with many years of experience in language teaching projects.
