A three-step assessment taken online to ascertain a student’s English language level and provide proof of English for UK Universities.
Oxford International English Test Centre offers the English Language Level Test (ELLT) as an alternative to students unable to access an IELTS or equivalent test as evidence of their English language level for entry into UK Universities. The ELLT is a three-step assessment taken to ascertain your current English language level, and can be completed 100% online. On successful completion of all three steps of the assessment students receive a certification and full report, allowing you to move forward and apply to university courses with proof of English without ever leaving your home.
If, upon completion of the test you achieve lower than the requirement to begin your academic studies, Oxford International English Test Centre offers students a 6-week or 12-week online pre-sessional English course designed to help boost your English language skills before beginning your chosen course.
The assessments are led by highly-qualified and experienced staff and processed by the UK language admissions team.
The Online English Language Level Test (ELLT) with Oxford International English Test Centre is made up of three elements; an initial online test, followed by a writing task that is assigned and administered by email, ending with an oral test which takes place over video chat with one of our highly qualified English teachers:
The following universities recognise the results of the English Language Level Test (ELLT) for admission onto their programmes:
Once the student completes all three stages of the test, the assessing teacher writes a report summary with results from the three tasks and gives a final certificate of level to the student along with the detailed report.
If the assessing teacher has any doubts, then a follow up assessment may be done by a Senior Teacher or Director of Studies. This three-step process adds a level of robustness to the results, and the cross referencing of previous tests along with spot checks ensure a secure test environment and level of trust in the results.
You can book your Online English Language Level Test (ELLT) with Oxford International English Test Centre here. The price of the test is £75 per student. Payment can be made online using all major credit cards.
Once you have made a booking via our website, you will be paired with a member of our Admissions Team. They will be able to provide you with the information you need to access the online test and they will also be able to guide you through the second and third stages of the test.

This allows your assigned language teacher to thoroughly review the results of each of your assessments and it also allows for the Admissions Team to liaise with you on suitable times and dates to complete your written task and oral exam.
