About the exam:
Consists of a Written (Listening, Reading, Writing) and Spoken (Speaking) component
Both components can be taken on the same day or within 14 days of each other
CEFR level B1 is the minimum requirement for the following visa types:
Tier 2 (General)
Student visa (this route replaces Tier 4) - (below degree level)
Applicants with a higher language level can take a B2, C1 or C2 Listening, Reading, Writing & Speaking exam, which also satisfies the application requirement.
After the exam, candidates receive a Test Report with their score and unique reference number (URN). The URN must be included in the visa application.
Visa requirement information is subject to change. Applicants should refer to UK Government guidance on English language exams for visas and are responsible for ensuring they take the correct exam.
Candidates are advised to contact their sponsors to confirm which CEFR level is required before registering for an exam.
