Knowledge of English

Post by katiepop » Sun Jun 16, 2013 9:57 pm

Had a quick look through this forum and can't see a similar question

Can someone clarify for me what counts as sufficient knowledge of English/ life in uk. My husband has been told by a college they do an ESOL course that satisfies the requirements for British citizenship. I'm a bit skeptical as their course seems significantly easier then having to go through the official life in the UK test.

Also am I right in thinking you have to do 2 levels of ESOL whereas this college is suggesting this one course is sufficient. TIA

I've found out some more info.

This college is offering an entry level certificate in ESOL skills for life (speaking and listening) (entry 1).

Is just that course sufficient or will he need to do a further level?

Read through this page on the UKBA website. Your husband must complete one level.
