English Requirements

Post by Tatjana » Mon Dec 02, 2013 6:20 pm

My son need to apply for BC.
He finished college here in UK and got Diploma in Sport Level 3. No formal education in English.
We are not sure is that enough.

Many thanks.

This is so stupid.
Person who have Entry Level 3 doesn't speak better English than someone who went in college for 3 years in UK.
What option he has now, go and take ESOL Entry level 3? Just waste of money and time.

With due respect, please do not waste money on english test, and please do not waste £ 874 for nationality application. Whats the point? Just for another passport?

Don't forget he will also need to pass the Life in the UK test.

He passed his Life in UK test 3 years ago for ILR.
BC is not waste of money but English Requirements are really bad thought of.
Saying that someone who’s been in full time education for 3 years here in UK and got a diploma doesn’t know Basic English is crazy. ESOL Entry Level 3 Speaking and Listening is basic English and you can’t Enrol in college without better knowledge of English.
OK, never mind there are exams running in Trinity College every day, he just need 10 min of his time and £125 
Many thanks
