Hi, my husband is applying for his citizenship and is a bit confused about the english requirement. He would like to know if he could use his previous ESOL certificates which show progression from one entry level to another. He has been here since 2007 and gained his ILR in 2009 and i am a british citizen and he his applying on this basis. Based on the certificates he sent with his ILR application does he just tick this box?• Your confirmation that you met this requirement in order to obtain settlement. Would still need to send them with this application?
He has never left the UK since arriving here in 2007. It seems like a straight forward application as he has all other documents.

Yes he should tick the box that he meets the requirement as well as include the ESOL certificate.

If he is applying via NCS they would most likely ask him to include the certificate anyway, so yes include it. Doesn't harm as well.

Thanks for the feedback..

I have a friend also making the same application but is slightly confused. The AN application states you must have a certificate in ESOL with citizenship but my friend was awarded a certificate which states Entry Level Certificate in ESOL Skills for Life. Speaking and Listening at Entry 3.

Does anybody know if this certificate is sufficient for applying for naturalisation.

Only if the course included "citizenship content", which, based on what you have posted, doesn't appear to be the case.
