English Requirement for ILR application - help please

[Deislermilan]

Hi All,

I am about to make my ILR application (Tier 2 General), but have two questions about English Requirement at the moment

1) I received my postgraduate degree in Australia, and have the graduate certificate. But on the gov.uk website, it reads:

If your degree isn’t from a UK university, you’ll need your original degree certificate and one of the following:

* an original letter or certificate from UK NARIC confirming the equivalent level of your degree, plus an official letter from your university with your name and degree confirming that your degree was taught in English (which I don't have...), or
* an original and official certificate from your university confirming the degree was taught or researched in a majority English-speaking country (except Canada)

Initially I thought I don't need one of these (because it is from Australia...), and believed just my graduate certificate from the Australian University will suffice. Now after I read this, I am not so sure now...

The problem is: how is it practically possible for me to ask an Australian University (a well-known one, not a college or something like that) to prove that my degree was taught in a majority English-speaking country (i.e. Australia)? I would like to think that the name of the university itself can prove this...

2) After I came to the UK, I received a Postgraduate Certificate (as a part of my job requirement). I am not quite sure if this can be used to prove my language ability, as it is only a postgraduate certificate - is this seen as a taught 'degree' by the caseworker?

Many thanks,
D
