SELTs cannot be provided by Registered Exam Centres and can only be taken by candidates at Trinity SELT centres in the UK.

All Trinity certificates are valid for life as evidence of the candidate’s achievement and performance in a Trinity exam. However, institutions and authorities may require candidates to have gained the qualification within a specific timeframe.

Please refer to the institution or authority for further information.

Where SELT certificates are used for UK visa or immigration purposes, Trinity has recommended to the UK Home Office that, for security reasons, only certificates less than two years old should be accepted.
