A1 English Lessons
Here at London Pioneer College, our East London-based UK visa experts can book you in for a free 10-minute immigration consultation to find out which application is best to apply for and which test to do. We can also offer thorough training and A1 test preparation courses which will give you everything you need to excel during your test.
The list below gives a general idea on who needs to do the A1 test:
• First spouse visa application (in most cases, the test for this visa will need to be done overseas or in your home country)
• First Parent of a Dependent Application
• First Tier 2 Sportsperson visa application
• Other applications
London Pioneer College was originally a SELT test centre, preparing and conducting the Trinity College London Test at our Barking, East London location. With an incredibly high pass rate, we hope to help you on your way. Find out more about our A1 English Lessons for adults by contacting the team in Barking today!
A2 English Lessons
The A2 English Test is one level up from A1 Test. The Home Office has introduced the A2 test so that applicants can improve upon their English language further after passing the A1 test for their original UK visa application. You can only do A2 English tests in the UK at Trinity College London or IELTS SELT Test Centres.
Applicants extending their spouse visa before the expiration of their first two and a half years spouse visa must do the A2 English test at a Home Office approved centre or their application will be refused, and they might be given a discretionary visa or a 10-year route partner visa instead.
Applicants on a 5 year 'Parent of a Dependent Visa' must complete the A2 English test before their first 2 and a half year visa expires, and again this must be done at a Home Office approved centre or their application will be refused, and they might be given a discretionary visa or a 10-year route parent visa.
