Why I choose Hamlets Training Centre for my A2 Test preparation course?

‘’I did the A2 SELT fast track course because my visa’s time is running out. I needed a fast track course and I was able to find Hamlets Training Centre through my solicitor. The facilities, you’ll get 1 to 1 and short time (1 hour only) as I have a baby. I came from Finsbury Park the journey was 1 hour and the commute was good. I would recommend Hamlets Training Centre to you ‘’. – S Begum, Google Review

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SELT?

Secure English Language Tests (SELTs) assess English Language ability and are taken under specific secure conditions. Trinity SELTs are approved by UKVI, part of the Home Office, for Leave to Remain, British Citizenship (Naturalisation) and Tier 1, 2 and 4 visa categories where evidence of English language ability is a requirement.

What are the recent changes?

Following a procurement exercise by the UK Government, Trinity is one of only two providers that have been approved to provide Secure English Language Tests for UKVI. This change took effect on 6 April 2015.

Which SELT exam do I need to take?

The Trinity exams offered for SELT purposes are:

Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE) – A1, A2 and B1 tests

The level and type of the exam you need to take is determined by the type of visa you require. Visit the Trinity UK visa test pages for more information.
