The English test required to extend your leave to remain in the United Kingdom
The A2 Secure English Language Test (SELT) is required for family visa holders who entered the UK at A1 level and are now applying to extend their leave to remain — typically after 2.5 years in the UK on a spouse, partner or parent visa.
At A2 level, the test is slightly more demanding than A1. You need to show you can communicate in simple, routine situations and understand more than just the most basic English. The test covers Speaking and Listening only.
As with all SELTs, results are reported electronically to the Home Office. Elite Language Solutions is a expert SELT preparation provider offering preparation courses and official testing.
A conversation with an examiner covering slightly more complex everyday topics than A1 — your plans, preferences, experiences and opinions on familiar subjects.
Short recordings at A2 level including conversations and announcements. You need to understand simple information and short exchanges.
We will confirm availability and pricing within one working day.
