English Requirement

Post by travisonline » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:31 pm

I am about to apply for citizeship (by naturalisation) using the AN application form (I have been on ILR since March 2013 and my ILR eligibility was based on 5 years working in the UK on a Tier 2 visa). I realised that I have satisfied all the requirements except for English language requirement (i.e. qualification in English at B1 CEFR level). I graduated from BPP College University in London by successfully completing GDL (Graduate Diploma in Law) and LPC (Legal Practice Course). These are well known degrees required to qualify as a solicitor in the UK. Does anyone know by any chance if I still need to pass an English language test or I can rely on those degrees. The problem with those degrees is that they do not consitute a bachelor/master/PHD degree.

you do not need any further English Language tests, You already have level 6 which is above B1

Passion5, many thanks for this. Would you mind post a link to a resource saying this or write a few words explaining why you think completing GDL amounts to having level 6 which is above B1. I will obviously pay fees so want to make sure they will not formally refuse my application only because I have not satsfied English language requirements.
