Hi All,

I used the Ecctis website to apply for my English Proficiency and Qualification Comparison as this is replaced by the Naric certificate.

As an Assessment outcome from Ecctis, I got a
UPI code,
Qualification comparison - Master's degree,
English level - "The level of English language for the above degree course is considered to meet the requirements of CEFR level C1" and
Verification outcome - positive.

But I didnt get any certificate like NARIC. Can you guide me on how to get a certificate?

Is the UPI code sufficient or should I also go for LanguageCert International ESOL SELT A1 - Further Leave to Remain?

Please guide me.

You either provide required certificates from Ecctis or you need to pass an acceptable English test.
Actually, it was UK NARIC that was replaced by Ecctis. You need to choose the correct service to get what is needed for immigration purposes.

Here is what is required:

Evidence from NARIC
An applicant must provide an AQUALS or a statement of comparability from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) confirming the qualification is equivalent to a UK qualification. Where the qualification was obtained in a non-majority English-speaking country, an ELPS or an English language assessment (ELA) is also required.

However, you do not need to see additional confirmation from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) where the:

• Home Office have previously accepted a degree qualification as meeting the requirements for an earlier application, and leave was granted
• degree was awarded by a UK university

If the qualification has not previously been used for an immigration application, or the previous application was refused, the applicant must obtain confirmation from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) that it meets the relevant criteria.
