Each year, UKVI manages hundreds of thousands of UK visa applications from overseas nationals seeking to live, study or work in the UK, where evidence of English language ability at a specific level is required.

👉 LanguageCert maintains its commitment in providing excellent support to our candidates through the challenging times of the COVID-19 outbreak. From 1 June 2020, UKVI is beginning a phased resumption of services and we will be soon starting Secure English Language Testing at our test centres in London and Manchester. In the time leading up to the opening of the rest of our test centres, candidates can buy an exam voucher here. As other countries around the world lift restrictions and it becomes safe to do so, we will continue to open our test centres. Currently 31 of our global SELT centres are operational, complying with local policy and guidelines regarding COVID-19. Find the list of those centres here.
