English language question

[katiepop]

I'm sorry if this is obvious but I've read so much I'm getting myself confused.

Can someone just clarify if the following qualification is unacceptable...

Trinity College London entry level certificate in ESOL skills for life (speaking & listening) (entry1) may 2013 pass

As you can see that qualification was taken before the new rules. It was acceptable back then, but since the new rules, am I right in thinking it has to be a minimum of entry level 3? What's confusing me is the list of approved qualifications on gov.uk site mentions entry 1 in that big table. But it's not awarded by trinity college in the table.

Experts can tell you better, but in my view you need to fulfil qualifications that were valid at the time you became eligible for BC.

I'd simply take B3 to keep things safe.

If you a applying for BC then you'll need a minimum of entry 3 which is B1 and LITUK.

As mentioned ESOL Entry 3 for BC

However the qualification for ESOL skills for life entry 3 offered by Trinity has been removed from the Home Office list of acceptable qualifications effective from 1st August 2014. This qualification will no longer be accepted.

Only the ESOL entry 3 offered by Cambridge is still being accepted.

Or you can use the Trinity GECE Grade 5 test.
