Joy there is an A1 test available at the Golden Peak Hotel and perhaps the British council Howerd may have some fresh news Im leaving tomorrow from Mactan at this time boo hoo
Yes, you will probably need to take an A1 English language test before applying for a spousal visa. There are a couple of exemptions to this requirement. For more information read here... http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2010/275292/46-english-test-partners As you can see from the above link, IELTS is accepted as meeting the English A1 language requirement, but other tests are available too. Like KeithAngel says, there is a test centre at the Golden Peak Hotel but there are questions over its legitimacy as a business. The safer bet is with the British Council, which you can read about here... http://www.britishcouncil.org/phili...s-test-takers-how-do-i-register-for-ielts.htm Are you also aware of the CFO seminar that has to be taken before leaving the Philippines?
Joy, there is quite a lot of good stuff here on the forum that can help you with the English language testing. I just did a quick search and have discovered that a couple of recent important postings I made appear to have gone missing. I will try to find the infomation again and re-post them.
Hi Joy, I just now posted the new information about English Language test providers Approved List. Please take a look here:- http://www.euro-pinoy.com/showthrea...glish-language-test-providers&p=9322#post9322

Joy The new UKBA listing here:- http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/new-approved-english-tests.pdf This shows all the approved Providers and all the Tests. The minimum level for settlement visa is A1. So any test on that list at A1 or above is OK There certainly has been talk of the Home Office deciding on IELTS but nothing firm as yet. There are two types of test for IELTS :- Academic General Both tests are aimed at a higher level that A1 As a first step why not check out the new approved provider test centres near to where you live then see what tests are actually available and the levels on offer.
Oh, I just noticed this thread, so Rizza/Joy/mahal ng kuya ... it's nice to meet you I've heard a lot about you. Sean really loves you!
