Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance if this questions has already been answered. I searched in the forum but didn't find any satisfactory answer.

The wording on the home office website is absolutely poor or that my understanding of their content is very poor. Either way I need clarification on the following.

Home office (https://www.gov.uk/english-language) states that I can prove my knowledge of the English language by having either:
1) English qualification at B1, B2, C1 or C2 level


Do I need all B1, B2, C1 level qualification or any one of them will do?

In other words:
Do i need either B1 or B2 or C1 or C2?
or
Do I need all B1 and B2 and C1 or just C2?

In the forum help section I saw C2 > C1 > B2 > B1. How much does the levels affect your application?

I went to trinity website and they have different tiers of B1 level qualification. Here is the link: http://www.trinitycollege.com/site/?id= ... paign=selt

How the heck are we meant to know which tiers we must take and which tiers are acceptable? This is really frustrating. Can someone please relieve me out of my misery.

Many thanks.

You need only level B1 for citizenship.
