ESOL - Prepare for B1 Exam

The Home Office does not accept ESOL qualifications from any college. You must take a SELT (Secure English Language Test) from Trinity or an IELTS exam to prove your level of English. However, you must attend ESOL courses to help you improve your English to reach the level you need for the Home Office. This is a comparison of the levels: The Common European Framework of Reference - CEFR • A1 ESOL Entry 1 • A2 ESOL Entry 2 • B1 ESOL Entry 3 • B2 ESOL Level 1 • C1 ESOL Level 2 This course will help you get ready to take the English language exam you need to apply for British Citizenship and Permanent Residency (B1). We are the only approved test preparation centre in Leicester. You will cover the exam requirements in the class and take some mock tests.
