LanguageCert
UKVI-approved SELT with online options — the flexible UK route.
LanguageCert is a UK-based awarding organisation whose exams are approved by the UK Home Office as Secure English Language Tests (SELT) — meaning selected LanguageCert exams can be used for UK visa applications, alongside options like IELTS for UKVI and PTE Academic UKVI.
The family includes LanguageCert Academic (a four-skills academic test scored on a 0–100 scale mapped to CEFR), International ESOL qualifications at individual CEFR levels (A1–C2), and dedicated SELT exams for UK visa routes. Several can be taken online with live remote proctoring, often with fast results.
For South Asian candidates targeting the UK, LanguageCert’s appeal is flexibility: frequent dates, online delivery in many countries, and level-based exams where you sit the exact CEFR level you need rather than an open-ended band test.
