Hi There

Nothing.

Use the self-assessment tool on UKBA website to ascertain whether your qualification meets the English Language requirements. The letter of comparability from NARIC only provides confirmation regarding equivalency of overseas qualifications to UK education standards. It does not provide confirmation if English Language Requirements are met as per Tier 1 guidance.
Tier 1 policy guidance wrote:184. Applicants should check their qualification by referring to the Self Assessment Tool which can be found at www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk.

185. Where the Self Assessment Tool is unable to confirm these details, points will not be awarded for the qualification in question.

186. Where the applicant is unable to find details of their qualification on the Self Assessment Tool, UK NARIC will not be able to verify whether a qualification satisfies the English Language requirement. In these circumstances, applicants should either present an alternative qualification from the Self Assessment Tool if they possess one, or select an alternative means of satisfying the English Language requirement.

Hi There

Thanks for replying


But in Policy Guide its written
61. Applicants should check the level of their qualification by
referring to the Self Assessment Tool which can be found on
the Agency website at www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk.
62. Where the applicant is unable to find details of their
qualification on the Self Assessment Tool, they may still wish
to claim points for the qualification in question. In these
circumstances applicants should contact UK NARIC directly for
an assessment of the level of their qualification and, where
their qualification is found to be of the required level, obtain a
letter and/or confirmation certificate from UK NARIC. Contact
details for UK NARIC can be found on the following website at
www.naric.org.uk. Please note that there may be a charge for
this service.
63. Where UK NARIC is unable to confirm these details, points will
not be awarded for the qualification in question. In such cases,
applicants may wish to consider presenting an alternative
qualification if they possess one.
So i am confused that the information i Received from NARIC is right or not..... means I got my bachelor level is equivalent to
"UK BACHELOR ( ORDINARY) DEGREE STANDARD"

does this meets the requirement of English ?

Looking forward to hear from you
Many Thanks

You are wanting to know about English Language requirements and probably reading (and quoting) the qualification section of the policy guidance. :?

Read the English Language Requirements section (in paticular, para 184, 185 and 186) of the current Tier 1 policy guidance available on UKBA website. I have already posted the text of para 184, 185 and 186 in my earlier response for your benefit.

My response above is self-explanatory, but if you are still confused then this might help.
