A digital certificate is an electronic document that shows proof of a qualification. Trinity College London gives all candidates who have passed their Secure English Language Test (SELT) a digital certificate. The digital certificate looks the same and holds the same importance as a paper certificate.
Digital certificates benefits include:
- Quick and safe electronic delivery
- Simple verification for employers, institutions and governments such as the UKVI
- The ability to download and electronically store the digital certificate
- Access to your digital certificate anytime on the online Accredible platform
Once results are verified, candidates will receive an email with a link to download and access their digital certificate. Trinity SELT has engaged with Accredible, a trusted company, to offer this safe and fast service.
The Unique Electronic Reference Number (UER) is what you'll need to show that you've successfully passed your SELT exam for your visa application to the UKVI. You won't have to provide a printed certificate.
Your Unique Electronic Reference Number (UER) will be displayed on your Trinity certificate, whether it's in digital or printed format.
Here's an example of how your UER will be displayed: TCL/123456/123456/123456789.
If you pass your test, Trinity will send you an email through the Accredible system. The email will come from DigitalCertificates@trinitycollege.com.
Do not reply to this mailbox. If you have any questions, please email SELT@trinitycollege.com
The email will show a picture of your digital certificate. Click on "View my certificate" to view it on the Accredible system
