Oxford ELLT launches Express Service for time-sensitive student applications

July 29, 2026

Oxford International Digital Institute (OIDI) has launched Oxford ELLT Express, a new service giving international students a faster way to complete their English language testing when working towards time-sensitive application deadlines.

Available as an optional upgrade, Oxford ELLT Express enables eligible test takers to book a same-day Speaking test, subject to examiner availability, and receive their English language test results within 12 working hours of completing all components of the Oxford ELLT.

The faster service does not change the assessment process. Oxford ELLT Speaking tests continue to be assessed by experienced human examiners, maintaining the same standards of quality, consistency and academic integrity.

Oxford ELLT is recognised by more than 300 universities worldwide, including Russell Group institutions. The introduction of Oxford ELLT Express builds on OIDI’s commitment to providing flexible and accessible digital assessment solutions that respond to the changing needs of international students and the institutions and partners that support them.

Michael Shaw, Head of Digital Assessment and Product Strategy at OIDI, said:

“Students don’t always have the luxury of time, particularly during peak admissions periods. By introducing Oxford ELLT Express, we’re making our test service even faster, but maintaining the rigorous that comes with human examiners having a detailed conversation with students and properly assessing their speaking skills.”
