IELTS boosts access to English language tests for UK visas
IELTS is making it easier for people to access English language tests for UK visas and immigration.
Since April this year, most people who need to prove their English language skills to support an application for a British visa need to take a government-authorised 'SELT' (Secure English Language Test), and this must be taken under special testing conditions at a test centre which has been specifically approved for this purpose.
IELTS is one of only two providers of SELT tests, and the only one authorised to run tests worldwide, with a network of more than 113 permanent centres in over 50 countries specifically equipped to offer SELT tests, including 10 centres in the UK. These centres offer tests all year round, with test dates available every month.
In addition, IELTS runs more than 60 'pop up' centres in other locations to meet local demand.
Victoria Sellar, IELTS SELT Consortium Concession Manager explains "The IELTS partners have always managed the IELTS centre network dynamically to enable us to meet test takers' needs, and this is no different for the SELT tests. August is going to be a particularly busy month, so we have doubled the number of places at centres in key locations like Shanghai and Qatar and we'll be running tests in 24 countries across Africa".
Sellar adds "The locations for SELT tests are specified by the UK government, so it is not possible to offer tests everywhere where we have potential test takers, but we do everything possible to ensure that people can take IELTS or IELTS Life Skills within 28 days at the centre of their choice ."
雅思考试让人们更加方便地获得用于英国签证和移民的英语语言测试。
今年4月以来,需要证明英语语言技能以得到英国签证申请的大多数人需要参加政府授权的签证类安全英语语言考试，而这必须在获得特殊许可的测试中心进行才可以。
雅思是SELT测试的两个供应商之一, 并授权在全球范围内进行测试的唯一的一个，在50多个提供SELT测试的国家中，113多个永久中心形成一个网络，包括10个中心在英国。这些中心全年提供测试，并每个月都有雅思考试。
此外, 在其他地区，雅思考试新增了60多个考试中心以满足当地的需求。
Victoria Sellar,雅思安全英语语言考试联盟的经理解释说“雅思合作者一直在管理雅思中心网络以便让我们能够满足考生的需求,这与SELT测试没有什么区别。8月将是一个特别繁忙的一月,所以在像上海和卡塔尔这样的关键位置我们增加了考场的数量，并将在非洲的24个国家运行测试”。
Sellar补充道“SELT测试的地点是英国政府规定的,所以是不可能无处不在的,但是我们会尽一切可能确保人们在他们所选择的考试中心并在28天内可以参加雅思或雅思生活技能类考试。”
