Candidates who plan to study in the UK may need to prove their level of English language proficiency in order to meet academic institutions’ admission requirements. LanguageCert offers internationally recognised, high-stakes English exams that are approved by the UK Home Office, listed on UCAS and recognised by top UK universities and colleges.
Candidates may require a Student visa (this route replaces Tier 4) in order to study in the UK, however, where a student visa is not required, candidates can take a LanguageCert International ESOL exam that meets university admission requirements.
