What happens on the day of your SELT test

Some Secure English Language Test (SELT) candidates worry about what will happen on the day of their SELT exam, as taking an exam in a foreign language can be unsettling. To help you prepare for the experience, we created a video that shows what will happen from the moment you arrive until your departure.

When you arrive at the Trinity SELT centre at the time specified on your confirmation email, a steward will guide you through your test experience. The steward will confirm that the ID you brought matches the one used for booking the test and show you where to securely store all your belongings. Security checks to comply with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) are also performed at this stage. Those wearing religious clothing will be able to adjust them in a private area to ensure they can make security checks safely and comfortably.

Once the security checks have been completed, you will be registered before taking the exam. SELT tests are taken via one-to-one video conferencing and the examiner will already be on the screen to meet you.

After the test, the steward will meet you outside the exam room to take you back to your locker and explain the results and certificate process.

Watch our video to find out what taking a Home Office approved English language test with Trinity is like.
