Changes to the list of English language tests and providers


08 July 2011

On 6 April we published a new list of approved English language test providers for applications made under Tiers 1, 2 and 4 of the points-based system and for spouse or partner applications. Today, we have made some changes to this list.

The updated list includes:

  • new acceptable test certificates for business language testing service (BULATS);
  • clarification that we accept the test of English as a foreign language (TOEFL) ibt test (internet-based test); and
  • new test scores for tests conducted by Pearson.

You can download the revised list from the right side of this page. When you make an application in an immigration category that requires you to demonstrate your English language ability, you must show that you have passed an appropriate test on the list.

Details of the list can be found in our news story published on 6 April 2011.
