Pride Month 2026: Not just a rainbow flag; why inclusion at MTS is a core and permanent value

At MTS, inclusion (in all dimensions and senses) isn’t a checklist or a seasonal campaign. Inclusion and respect for all our people is an everyday baseline. It’s woven into our core values because we believe a testing environment should always be a space of opportunity, never anxiety. As we celebrate Pride Month 2026 during the month of June, we are doing more than just flying the rainbow flag. We are reaffirming our active allyship with our LGBTQI+ staff, test takers, partners and collaborators. High stakes – but with zero judgement We know that sitting for a major English language or professional qualification brings enough pressure on its own. You shouldn't have to carry the extra weight of wondering if you can safely be yourself. Whether you are walking into an MTS centre for your IELTS, AAT, ACCA, OET, OTE, CELPIP, or any other professional certification: 1: Your identity is respected: From correct pronoun usage to gender-affirming validation, we respect who you are without question or assumption. 2: Your dignity is protected: Our invigilators and staff undergo training to ensure a pleasant, respectful, and bias-free testing experience. 3: Your safety is prioritised: We actively cultivate secure, welcoming spaces so you can focus entirely on what matters most; passing your exam. A unified standard across all our venues MTS has a large network of test venues across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, and Brazil. Our ever-expanding international presence continues, and our mission remains clear: delivering world-class, high-security examinations in environments where diversity is celebrated and inclusivity within our staffing and service delivery is standard practice. We are proud of our diverse staff, partner, and candidate community, and we thank you for choosing MTS as your testing partner.
