An affordable, secure and flexible option for students

In July 2020, the University of Strathclyde recognised our English Language Level Test (ELLT) to provide their students with an affordable, high-quality and flexible route to admission for their degree courses.

In May 2020, during the height of the pandemic, students who wanted to enter international universities had the challenge of finding a way to provide proof of their English language level or to put their education aspirations on hold. We looked at addressing the needs of these students and universities by creating online courses that allowed students to continue their English language training for academic purposes. Our English Language Level Test (ELLT) was created for this very purpose; a 100% online test with all the security and confidence of face to face examinations. Our unique testing includes interaction with live examiners, and an advanced security system to give confidence to university partners in the validity of our results.

The test is now recognised by many universities, including the University of Strathclyde, the University of the Year in the Times Higher Education 2019 awards. As an internationally focused university that supports around 23,000 students from more than 100 nations, developing an alternative solution for their future international applicants was necessary.

The Oxford International English Language Level Test has been accepted for main degree entry at the University of Strathclyde since July 2020. The online test is available globally, competitively priced, robust, secure, valid, and can be undertaken flexibly at a time of students’ choosing. The University places confidence in the human delivered and marked aspect to the test. The test process is administered clearly and supportively for students in stages, with a pre-test practice opportunity.
