hiya,
I have a question, I sincerely hope this has not been asked before as I know how frustrating it can be to keep answering the same question over and over again, but will really appreciate every help.
Is ielts acceptable for ilr on SET(M) application? I was tested and found to have a high knowledge of English but I truly don't want to go through the esol(PCE)exams, I rather take ielts but I'm wondering if it will be accepted? my application will be made after the 28th of October rule comes in play.
Thanks

Do you have a degree taught in English?

Not in this country, No.

From any country?

Doesn't matter if in this Country or not, if it is comparable to a UK degree and is taught in English that should suffice the new English requirement post October 2013 without the need for an additional test.

Oh that's great then. I have a BSc in accounting from Nigeria. I didn't think they will accept that?

See if you're awarded points on the PBS calculator (click) if not, you need to askNARIC (click) to confirm that it is comparable.
