Work in the UK
Applicants offered a job in the UK may need to take a 2-skills (Speaking & Listening) or 4-skills (Listening, Reading, Writing & Speaking) Skillforlanguage SELT exam to prove their English language proficiency as part of their work visa application. All Skills for Language SELT exams are delivered through our global network of SELT Centres.
The minimum Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level required varies depending on visa type. Applicants with a higher language level can take an exam above the minimum requirement as long as it assesses the same skills that also satisfy the visa application.
Visa requirement information is subject to change. Applicants should refer to UK Government guidance on English language exams for visas and are responsible for ensuring they take the correct exam. Applicants are advised to contact their sponsors to confirm which CEFR level they require before registering for an exam.
