I had another look at page 7 of the AN form and this website https://www.gov.uk/english-language/approved-english-language-qualifications and it looks like you are right.

Bukola, when did you pass your Esol exam? If before April, it will be accepted. If after April, it is a very questionable issue, but probably you should not risk it and pass another, accredited exam. This is what I've found out after asking this question on this and other forums.

The receptionist claimed the same thing, that they contacted HO a...

Hi, I've just started my way to become British citizen, passed my LITUK today and was offered to sit the Esol B1 tomorrow morning for £135. I thought it was a good idea and paid my deposit, but it seems this company is not one of the two allowed to provide tests for naturalization. Are they going to...
