Hi guys just a few questins if anyone can please help will be most appreciated

I have applied for BC after completing a Esol entry 3speaking and listening course awarded by Trinity College London. On the certificate wasn't stated B1. But when I asked college I been to they said I could use it for British citizenship.

1 will it be suffice to prove my English language ?

2 the lady from NCS said nothing about not being good but s friend of mine applied before me at the same NCS and the lady said that the certificate may be not good. So what this means ?

3 can they reject me because of this( in case is not good enough ) or they will contact me to provide another one.


I'm so confused now

Thanks for looking guys

Your certificate is fine. Even though it does not say B1 it is equivalnet to B1 (GSCE 5 or something). My wife and several other people I know of have applied for Citizenship using the same test and have been approved without any issues.
