Skills for English (UKVI)

Skills for English (UKVI) is a Secure English Language Test (SELT) that has been approved by UK Visas and Immigration to meet the English language requirements for UK visa applications. It’s simple and convenient to prepare for, to book and to take.

The test can be booked online and on demand, it is delivered in a single session that is entirely computer-based, with no need for an examiner/assessor to be present.

Skills for English (UKVI) is offered through our network of PSI Authorised test centres and is available now in 122 countries around the world, except the UK.

Simple, quick, affordable; Skills for English (UKVI) is a qualification that enables you to demonstrate your knowledge of English language for a range of purposes, including work, study or settlement.

With more choice of location, more choice of test dates for exam events, you can choose the test level you require, from beginner to mastery, for either two skills, speaking and listening, or four skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing. That way you know you are preparing for, and taking, precisely the level of test you need for your chosen purpose – no more, no less.

All Skills for English (UKVI) 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 you candidate’s personal details) after the test is finished. This 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 14 days.
