IELTS is not a visa requirement, however if visa officer feels you do not have enough English skills to study your course they may refuse you.

Hi

No you dont need IELTS under tier4.It is upto college to assess your English skills and give you visa letter.

So in new point based system answer is NO.

IELTS is not compulsory according to new rules. But that doesn't mean it can be ignored. Whenever the visa section feels that too many visas are being issued, they will start refusing left right and centre based on English skills.

Right now, the visa chances without IELTS vary from person to person, based on their qualification, selected course and work experience. Most colleges can no longer offer integrated English course as they used to.

For student visa, contact 07926614888 / 09898026829. Ask for Rohan.

You DONT have to show IELTS results to get your visa.
The list of documents you need to show is indicated on your visa letter.
You are not advised to send any additional documents.
