Secure English language tests to be introduced for Tier 4 students
Aug
12

The UK Border Agency have introduced secure English language tests for students under Tier 4 (General) of the points-based system.

If a Tier 4 (General) student will be studying a course that is below NQF Level 6 (except a Foundation Degree or an English language course), using a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) issued on or after 12 August 2010, their Tier 4 sponsor must ensure that they are competent in English language at a minimum of level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) by showing that they:

  • are from a majority English-speaking country; or
  • have successfully completed a course as a Tier 4 (Child) student; or
  • have passed an English language test with an approved test provider for Tier 4, and achieved at least CEFR level B1 in all four components (reading, writing, speaking and listening).

A list of approved test providers can be found at: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/approvedenglishtestst4.pdf
