English Language Requirements

[Radonog]

I have gotten an ESOL Skills For Life Level 1 certificate to get an English citizenship for myself and family. But ESOL Skills For Life is no longer done in England to my knowledge and I have no idea whether it will still be accepted for my application to be a British citizen. Would you mind telling me whether that's enough and if not, what qualifications do I need?
Thanks in advance.

The English requirement currently is for level B1 and test centres need to be on the HO list of approved centres (per above link). The one you mention is not on the list therefore new tests are required.

ESOL is no longer accepted by HO, this has been the case since November 2015.

Level 1 ESOL is also not equivalent to B1 required.

Got kinda the same question. Had my Cambridge exam in Oct 2013.level B2. It's not longer on their list. But they also got a remark on the gov page saying that if you’re applying for citizenship and your test was accepted when you settled in the UK you can use it. Is that so? Got confused. Can I apply for naturalisation with that certificate? Thank you
