I think u dont need to do ESOL as you have a UK degree

going by this.. https://www.gov.uk/english-language

If somewhere in the degree certificate if it says that your degree is taught in English.. that shud suffice I imagine..

A diploma isn't necessarily degree level. If you don't have a degree taught in English you will have to pass the B1 level English test.

Thanks guys.. You don't have to take the test if you are refugee living in the uk for 5 years. My leave to remain granted outside immigration rules (after 14y) Dos it do any good?

Also, Do anyone know where can I take one in bristol? And how much is it cost.
