Also, together with the British Council the centre has initiated the cooperation with ESOL to gain the right for holding the Cambridge ESOL Examinations which comprise the internationally acknowledged range of certificates for learners and teachers of English - taken by over 3 million people in 130 countries. TSU Centre will have the right to organise the paper-based exams as well as the computer-based ones.
