Secure English Language Test (SELT)

Computer-based testing for all skills
All Skills for English: SELT tests use computer-based delivery for all skills. Reading and listening are automatically marked during the test session itself; speaking and writing are recorded digitally during the test session and marked by trained assessors (who have no visibility of your personal details) after you've finished. That means you can move through each of the skills sections in turn in a single test session and receive your results in as little as 3-5* days.
