This includes the first 8 centres in the UK and 15 centres in India as well as centres in&nbsp;Japan, Egypt, Philippines, South Africa, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookings can be taken at all locations, with 57 of these locations open now to deliver testing, and the remaining 15 to open once individual COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tests will be delivered through the Pearson VUE test centre network. Pearson VUE test centres follow health and safety guidance provided by global health organizations and local governments. Amid COVID-19, the test centres operate with increased disinfecting and hygienic procedures and additional social distancing measures to support the safety of testing candidates and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearson\u2019s SELT tests are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>PTE Academic (UKVI)<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; a four skills language test accepted for work and study visas. It tests speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.<strong><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>PTE Home<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; a two skills language test accepted for family, settlement, citizenship applications as well as Sportsperson and Representative of an Overseas Business applications. It tests speaking and listening skills.<strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s news follows our announcement last month of the first wave of locations to start delivering SELT.&nbsp;It is expected that all remaining SELT testing locations will become operational this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the UK Home Office Visas and Immigration process click here&nbsp;<a
