hello everyone,

Im just applying for BC and I'm struggling with the proof of knowledge of English. Im confused lol I have a degree taught and examined in English ( I'm an overseas trained teacher of English) and QTS awarded by General Teaching Council, also I work in a school teaching children. Do I really need to prove the I know English by paying £180 to NARIC????

If your degree was taught or researched in English

You can prove your knowledge of English by having a degree that was taught or researched in English.

If your degree is from a UK university, you only need your degree certificate.

If your degree is not from a UK university you’ll need:

a copy of your degree certificate
an Academic Qualification Level Statement (AQUALS) from UK NARIC confirming the degree is equivalent to a UK qualification.
If your degree is from a non-majority English-speaking country you’ll also need an English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS) from UK NARIC confirming the degree was taught in English.

You will have to follow as the guidance says.
