at what stage of this spouse visa application ..he will take the a1 english language test?..is it after sending the COA application?

Before applying for leave to remain (FLR(M)). He doesn't need to meet the English language requirement to marry in the UK (for which CoA is a requirement).

Click on the links provided in responses above and read the information given in there.

1. The FLR(M) form and guidance explains what documentary evidence(s) are required.
2. The web-page regarding English language requirements has a (PDF) document which lists the approved test providers and their contact details.
