Proof of English for ILR

Hi Guys,

First of all i do apologise if this is a repeated post, I just couldn't find what i am looking for in existing posts!

Well, I am Egyptian I came in UK under HSMP on 2008, renewed it and got my Tier1 on 2010.
In my initial application i used a letter from my university stating that my studies were in English. In my tier1 renewal i got an IELTS certificate.
My question is what about ILR? Do i need IELTS or the "life in the UK" test is enough?

Thank you in advance.

Take the KOL test.

Thank you so much for your help. Ok so just the life in the UK test is enough.

Cheers for your great help and support

yep, life in the UK test is enough. (no need to take IELTS etc).

As you said, you have taken IELTS (I know that is valid for only 2 years), for Tier-1, there is no need to take the same exam again. instead for people on Tier-1, just a Life in UK test pass letter is sufficient evidence for english language as well as for the knowledge of life in uk.
