What is IELTS for UKVI?

‘IELTS for UKVI’ is a UK government approved Secure English Language Test (SELT). This means that UKVI IELTS can be used to prove your English language abilities in support of a UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) application. This applies to everyone coming from a non-English speaking country. IELTS is accepted in  Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. But UKVI is only accepted in the UK itself.

While there is no change in the content, format, or level of difficulty and scoring, IELTS for UKVI simply follows certain extra security protocols to ensure the authenticity of the test taker. Also, your Test Report Form (TRF) may look slightly different from the one given for IELTS Academic or General Training.

What is IELTS Life Skills?

IELTS Life Skills is a UK government approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) that assesses your English speaking and listening skills at Level A1, A2, or B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

This is the test to take if you are applying for the following types of UK visa:

  • Candidates who are compliant to work as Senior Caretakers
  • Family Visa
  • Extension to family, spouse, or partner visa
  • indefinite leave to remain or citizenship.

IELTS Life Skills is available at two levels:

  • IELTS Life Skills – A1 Speaking and Listening
  • IELTS Life Skills – A2 Speaking and Listening (offered in the UK only).
  • IELTS Life Skills – B1 Speaking and Listening

Similarities Between IELTS and IELTS UKVI

IELTS General Training, IELTS Academic, and IELTS Life Skills or IELTS UKVI tests are accepted by the UK government for visa and immigration as proof of applicants’ English language proficiency if they are visiting the country for studies, work, and life. These tests are managed by the various IELTS partners such as the British Council and taken based on the same content, format, examiners, difficulty level, scoring band, and so on.

These tests have been designed by some of the leading language and language assessment experts. So, when you give one of these tests, your full range of English language skills will be examined.

Additionally, you need to clear each section and obtain minimum marks set by the respective university or employer to successfully get admission or a new job abroad. The committee will assess your following skills through the test:

  1. Listening
  2. Writing
  3. Reading
  4. Speaking
