Step-by-Step Registration via selt.languagecert.org

Registration for LanguageCert SELT is done through the official SELT booking portal. Here is the complete process:

Step 1: Visit the official portal. Go to selt.languagecert.org — this is the ONLY official booking platform for LanguageCert SELT. Do not use third-party booking sites.

Step 2: Create your account. Register with your email, personal details, and passport information. Your name must match your passport exactly — any discrepancy will prevent you from taking the test.

Step 3: Select your test type. Choose between SELT S&L, General SELT, or Academic SELT based on your visa requirement. Not sure which test? See our which LanguageCert for your UK visa guide or our LanguageCert for Australia visa guide.

Step 4: Select CEFR level. For S&L tests, choose A1, A2, or B1 based on your visa type. For General SELT, the level is B1. For Academic SELT, the level is B2.

Step 5: Choose test centre and date. Select your preferred test centre in India and an available date. LanguageCert offers on-demand scheduling, so availability is typically good. Check our test centers in India guide.

Step 6: Pay the fee. Complete payment using an accepted method (see below).

Step 7: Receive confirmation. You will receive an email confirmation with your test booking details, centre address, and what to bring on test day.

Payment Methods Accepted in India

The selt.languagecert.org portal accepts the following payment methods for Indian test takers:

• International credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) — most common method for Indian applicants
• International debit cards with international transaction enabled
• Online bank transfer in some cases
• International payment platforms where available

Rescheduling Policy

LanguageCert allows rescheduling of booked tests, subject to their cancellation and rescheduling policy:

• Rescheduling is typically possible up to a specified number of days before the test date
• A rescheduling fee may apply
• Cancellations may receive a partial refund depending on timing
• Always check the latest policy on selt.languagecert.org at the time of booking, as policies may change

Factor in rescheduling buffers when planning your timeline — whether you aim to study in the UK or study in Australia, missing a test date can delay your entire visa process.

Registration Tips for Indian Applicants

1. Book early: While LanguageCert offers more flexible scheduling than IELTS, popular centres and dates can fill up — especially during visa application peak seasons (June-September for UK Student Route).

2. Double-check your name: Your name on the booking must match your passport exactly, including spelling and order of names. Any mismatch will prevent you from taking the test.

3. Keep booking confirmation safe: You will need this on test day. Print a copy and save a digital backup.

4. Plan your visa timeline: Allow 3–5 working days for results after your test, plus processing time for your visa application. Book your test at least 6–8 weeks before your intended visa filing date.

5. Prepare before booking: Do not book your test date until you are genuinely ready. EEC's LanguageCert preparation tips will help you gauge readiness. Consider online coaching or enrol in LanguageCert coaching at EEC to prepare efficiently, or book a free consultation with EEC's experts for personalized guidance.
