SELT Preparation
SECURE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEST
GESE Training is commonly used for Secure English Language Test (SELT) purposes in the UK, as it is approved for UK visa or settlement purposes by the Home Office.
To learn and study for the exams, you will firstly be advised by our trained teachers what they consist of. In short, the exams cover a range of topics and tasks.
Progression
The tasks that candidates undertake demand a more advanced use of English as they move up the grades. Rather than simply responding to a series of prompts, candidates at higher grades are expected to take more responsibility for directing and controlling the conversation.
GESE Grade CEFR Level
Grade5 B1.1
Grade6 B1.2
Our qualified, carefully selected and dedicated teachers deliver lessons based on their learners’ needs, ensuring that you improve your English and practice the exam skills at the same time. The lessons include grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and topical communication skills, as well as conversational strategies and mock tests.
