As you satisfied an English Requirement for entry clearance that should suffice. Moreover, your MBA from a UK university also satisfies the B1 requirement by showing the degree certificate alone.

just clear, i have not given any test like IELTS or others when i came to uk to do MBA because there was no requirments for that time in 2005 in coventry university

2. i understand your second point.

in short, i do not need to give any test although i already passed UK life test.
my wife also get indeinite stamp on same date-10/12/2012,,,,,,,does she need to give this other test--speaking and english

thanks in advance

Your spouse will need to meet the B1 requirement, unless exempt. Again a degree NARIC comparable to a UK degree which was taught in English would suffice.

Is National Diploma in Business from a UK college sufficient

Hi Amber,

I have National Diploma in Business from a UK college which is also equivilant to 3 A levels, will that suffice the requirement for "Speaking and Listening Qualification in English at B1 CEFR or higher, or its equivalent"???

Thanks.

The National Diploma I have is being taught in English in the UK at a UK college and surely it is a higher level of qualification than ESOL and all that.

Do you think it is still insufficient?

Thanks.
