Advice needed for FLR (M) application

Post by shieldguy » Mon May 07, 2012 4:49 pm

My wife is applying for FLR(M)

I need suggestion about the English language documents i need to attach, please see the paragraph given below:

"If you hold an academic qualification equivalent to
a Bachelor’s degree in the UK which was taught in
English, you will not be required to take the English
Language test."

what I understand is that if I attach the NARIC certificate which just states that my wife bachelors degree is equivalent to UK bachelors standard is this going to be enough?

No actually Naric certifiate didnt says anything about the english language, but when i read the guidance note its says I can use the naric to proof that degree is equal to uk bachelor and then I will attach the letter from university that degree is taught in english and also the degree.
I understand this from the following paragraph in the guidance notes

"If you are claiming an exemption because you
have been awarded an academic qualification
equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree in the UK, you
must provide evidence that you have been awarded
the qualification. If you are unable to provide
your original certificate for the qualification, you
may submit an academic transcript accompanied
by an academic reference from the awarding institution.
Both of these documents must be on official
letter headed paper from the institution and must
show your name, the title of the award, confirmation
that the qualification was/will be awarded, and
either the date that you will receive your certificate
or confirmation that the institution will be unable to
re-issue the original certificate.
If the qualification was not taught in the UK or in
one of the majority English-speaking countries
listed in paragraph (c) above (please note that this
does not include Canada) you must also submit
evidence to show that the degree was taught in
English and is equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree
in the UK. For any qualifications taught outside
the UK, you must provide a letter from UK NARIC
confirming that your qualification is equivalent to a
Bachelor’s degree in the UK"

please advice that what I understand is correct ?

Thanks

Was or wasn't the degree taught in English? Is that an easier question for you to answer?
