Hello
iv read the rules on the Government website in regards to them changing around 5th Nov but they are not very clear, my wife has her entry level 3 Esol certificate which she passed this year in August, and she is currently studying towards her life in the UK test,
so my question is after Nov 5th 2015 what will change or what else would she need to do please?
will her Esol certificate become invalid? she has studied really hard in college for nearly 3 years to get her entry level 3, and now they are changing the rules! please can someone clarify?
Thank you

Hello there thanks for that information will she also need to do life in the UK test as well as this other test!?
It's just not very clear on their website, I cannot believe the essol certificate will become invalid! She is going to be real upset, as we get one step closer then they change the rules!

No -Life In The UK test does not need to be retaken.
I understand where you come from getting one step closer, but this is not new news ... it's been around 6 months.

Hello thanks for your help,is there a sticky section on this new information? Would my wife have to attend college again for this new English test? Is it multiple choice like the life in the UK test? Thank you.
