Many colleges run English courses for 6 months to 1 year for you to pass the required English language test. However, the onus is entirely upon you to know and assess your English language capabilities and then decided whether you want to learn English before taking a test or you have good enough knowledge to pass the test without any learning course.

You will have to search around. There are many places that allow you to sit the exam without doing the course. This would depend how good your English is. If you feel you can speak and communicate well, then go for the exam. If you struggle, then doing the course would be beneficial.

However, that being said, there is no requirement to do the course. You can just sit the exam alone.

In addition to the English B1, you will also need to pass the LIUK test for ILR.

Have a look at the above list of acceptable qualifications by the Home Office.

Avoid doing ESOL Entry Level 3 awarded by Trinity as this has now been removed from the Home Office list (this does not affect the one offered by Cambridge). The Trinity GESE Grade 5 test is fine to do (this is the 10 min test you refer to).

Also, avoid doing the following due to fraudulent activity as they are under investigation by the Home Office:

* All test offered by EMD
* ETS tests including TOIEC and TOEFL

thank you. i have found a test centre in Sheffield called best training which gives City & Guilds Entry Level Certificate in International ESOL Diploma B1 (Entry Level 3)* they say it is approved by ukba, can any one confirm this please so i can book it ASAP.

Yeah.....need to be very careful with the awarding body....I did My ESOL, B1 Entry Level 3 Language Test with EMDQ but Home Office didn't accept it...So I had to do Pearson(Edexel) B1 Entry Level 3 ....
I would say avoid City & Gilds as well
Thank God it was much easier test and result came in within 5 working days....They have centre in Hayes(west London) and in Ilford ..... I am not sure if they have any centre in Sheffield....Check their website.
