Results

Our Results Verification Service provides a secure and reliable way to verify candidates’ results for both Skills for Languages ESOL and Skills for Language SELT exams.

Once candidates are notified of their ESOL & SELT Exam results, they can email them directly from their skills for Language account to the institution they are applying to for instant review. Alternatively, candidates can download a copy of their results to send as an attachment or printed copy as part of their application process.

If a Higher Education Institution, government body or organisation receives an attached or hard-copy version of the Statement of Results (SoR) or Test Report, Skills for Language recommends its verification via our Results Verification Service.
