Naturalization Application - English Language

Post by Saad64 » Sat Mar 08, 2025 2:20 pm

Hi
I am applying for Naturalization , i came to UK on skilled worker visa and then got ILR last year and now eligible to apply for naturalization.

While filing out the naturalization application under the English language section, it's asking me where my degree was taught. I am a chartered accountant and hold ACA and ACCA qualifications. Although I studied these in my home country before moving to the UK, they are UK-based qualifications.

So am i okay to put "UK" when it asks where the degrees were taught?

ACA/ACCA qualifications are not degrees - they are awarded by the professional bodies, not a degree-awarding body.
I do understand that they are viewed as "degree level" but they are not accepted by UKVI for proof of English.
So the question is not relevant - did you take a test for ILR?

Not OK.

Do you mean life in UK test, if so yes i did. I also have IELTS from when i first got my skilled worker visa.
I was thinking to answer NO to the question where it asked whether i have a degree taught in english language as it then asks whether i have passed any English language exam. I can put details of my IELTS exam there. What do you think

Yes, put the details of your ILELTS test and specify it was used for your visa and then fulfilled the English knwoledge for ILR.
