No, you need the B1 level English test which is on the Home Office approved list. Life in the UK test is also a requirement.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

You cannot use esol. This has been the case since November 2015 when it was removed from the list.

What is your UK immigration history?

Do hold ILR or PR?

Then you need to do a new IELTS test on the HO approved list. Your esol won't be accepted.
