General SELT Product, Route and CEFR Level
Distinguish the UKVI-approved General SELT from ordinary LanguageCert General and match the A2-C1 product range to current work-route requirements.
Choose first, then prepare the right test
Start with the route's required skills and CEFR level. Four-skill Academic and General tests and the two-skill A1-A2-B1 suite are not interchangeable.
Core concepts
Concept 1
General SELT is a secure four-skill general and workplace-English product delivered at a SELT test centre.
Exam cue: Check the approved test name and current route page before booking.
Concept 2
The product reports A2-C1, while the immigration route determines the required level and skills.
Exam cue: Separate A2-C1 reporting capability from the route's actual threshold.
Concept 3
Current LanguageCert guidance associates General SELT with work visas, but candidates must verify the exact route rather than infer acceptance from the product label.
Exam cue: Confirm that General rather than Academic or two-skill ESOL matches the application.
