The Ministry of Education and Training recognizes Oxford Test of English certificate levels as equivalent to the levels in Vietnam's 6-Level Foreign Language Competency Framework under Decision No. 1429/QĐ-BGDĐT dated 29/05/2026 .
Oxford Test of English (OTE) is an English-proficiency assessment system developed by Oxford University Press and certified by the University of Oxford. The exams are entirely computer-based, applying Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology to comprehensively assess all four skills — Speaking · Listening · Reading · Writing. UKTA distributes 02 certificate-awarding exams:
General content, suitable for students, working professionals, study-abroad and immigration purposes. An OTE for Schools version is available with a school-based context, which suits candidates under 16 better.
An academic version for candidates who want to demonstrate proficiency at a high academic and professional level — suitable for study-abroad goals and professional environments.
Listening & Reading results are available on the day of the exam; Speaking & Writing results are returned after ~5 working days. The certificate is valid for life — however, some organizations such as universities may have their own requirements regarding validity. The fee includes the certificate issuance fee.
