If your students need an English language test to study in the UK this year then PTE Academic can help.
PTE Academic is an English language test for international students; it is secure, accessible and offers results within 5 business days. The test is recognized by over 95% of universities and colleges in the UK.
PTE Academic is approved by the UK Border Agency under Tier 4 (student visa) applications where students are required to demonstrate English language competency at CEF level B1 or B2 depending on the course level. Students applying for courses below NQF Level 6 and all students applying to private institutions need to provide evidence of English language proficiency through a Secure English Language Test (SELT).
A partnership approach
PTE Academic has availability in test centers around the world and test center capacity is flexible and driven by demand.
The Pearson approach is to listen and respond to what you need from us to help support your international student recruitment. By working closely and in partnership with you we aim to make the test available where and when you need it.
You can request new or additional test sessions in your territory through our on-demand test scheduling service
