IELTS General Training

[rafi_aamiri78692]

Hi,

I have done my IELTS General Training with overall score of 6.0 is this sufficient to process my Tier-2 General Visa to prove Knowledge of English.

I am confused that IELTS General Training for UKVI is required please advise

Thank you

I'm in similar situation.
I took IELTS Academic with overall score of 7.5. But it looks like it's not sufficient for Tier 2 visa.
This means I need to retake IELTS for UKVI?

Academic is not enough, it is usually accepted only for Student visas, as the IELTS website clearly states.

You need IELTS for UKVI!!

Thanks.
I was originally planning to use Tier 4, which didn't require IELTS for UKVI but IELTS Academic.
But I got a offer from NHS willing to sponsor me for Tier 2. It was the NHS who advised me to check my IELTS type as they seen many doctors get their visa rejected for submitting wrong IELTS.

Any idea whether I need IELTS for UKVI Academics or General?
I'm assuming I should take IELTS for UKVI Academics but I can't afford to make a mistake as it's only offered 1-2 times a month.
thanks

Did you not read my post about what visa the academic one is for??

[mamoru01]

What I meant was IELTS for UKVI "Academics" or "General".

GENERAL!!

Thanks.
Is IELTS for UKVI "Academics" acceptable as well?
The next test date for IELTS for UKVI "General" isn't until May 23rd so I would prefer to take UKVI Academics.

Yes, IELTS for UKVI "Academics" is acceptable.
