A1 English Lessons
At London Pioneer College, our UK visa experts based in East London can arrange a complimentary 10-minute immigration consultation to help determine the most suitable application for you and identify the required test. We also offer comprehensive training and A1 test preparation courses, equipping you with all you need to excel in your test.
Here’s a general guide on who typically needs to take the A1 test:
- First-time spouse visa applicants (often, this test must be taken overseas or in your home country)
- First-time applicants for the Parent of a Dependent Visa
- First-time applicants for the Tier 2 Sportsperson Visa
- Other relevant applications
London Pioneer College initially operated as a SELT test centre, preparing candidates and administering the Trinity College London Test from our Barking, East London location. With a consistently high pass rate, we are here to support you every step of the way. To learn more about our A1 English Lessons for adults, contact our team in Barking today!
A2 English Lessons
The A2 English Test is one step above the A1 Test. It was introduced by the Home Office to encourage applicants to further develop their English skills following the initial A1 test for their UK visa application. A2 English tests can only be taken in the UK at Trinity College London or IELTS SELT Test Centres.
Applicants seeking to extend their spouse visa before the end of their initial two-and-a-half-year visa must complete the A2 English test at a Home Office-approved centre. Failure to do so may lead to a refusal of the application, potentially resulting in a discretionary visa or a 10-year route partner visa instead.
Likewise, applicants on a five-year Parent of a Dependent Visa must complete the A2 English test before their initial two-and-a-half-year visa expires. As with the spouse visa, the test must be taken at an approved centre to avoid refusal and potential placement on a discretionary visa or 10-year route parent visa.
If you’d like to learn more about our thorough English lessons for adults to help you prepare for the A2 English Test, please contact our team in Barking to discuss your needs. Feel free to call us to enquire about other applications requiring the A2 English Test.
