The English test required for Skilled Worker, Health & Care Worker and other work visas
The B2 Secure English Language Test (ISE II) is required for a range of UK work visas including the Skilled Worker visa, Health and Care Worker visa, Scale-up Worker visa, Innovator Founder visa and others.
Unlike the A1 and A2 SELT which test Speaking and Listening only, the B2 ISE II tests all four skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. This is a more comprehensive test requiring solid upper-intermediate English across all areas of communication.
Results are reported directly to UKVI. Elite Language Solutions offers full B2 SELT preparation covering all four skills, plus the official test at our expert SELT preparation provider.
A structured conversation with an examiner on professional and abstract topics at upper-intermediate level.
Longer, more complex recordings requiring you to identify main points, opinions and specific details.
Reading tasks including longer texts, multiple choice questions and identifying writers' opinions.
Written tasks requiring you to produce structured, accurate English at B2 level — emails, short essays and reports.
We will confirm availability and pricing within one working day.
