Joining a UK settled partner or family member requires the A1 2-skill SELT (Speaking & Listening only). Extensions to A2 require the next level.
Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and British citizenship require B1 level Speaking & Listening — demonstrating everyday English communication.
Below-degree courses need B1 (4-skill). Degree-level and above need B2 (4-skill). Dr Ahmed coaches to the exact level your UK institution requires.
The required CEFR level depends on your SOC code and employer sponsorship. Most skilled worker visas require B1–B2; senior roles may need C1.
To pass the UKVI SELT and receive your UK visa-ready certificate, you must achieve the following minimum scores at your target level.
| Exam Type | CEFR Level | Pass Threshold | UK Visa Use |

| 2-Skill (S&L) | A1 | Avg 60%+ | Family / Partner |
| 2-Skill (S&L) | A2 | Avg 60%+ | Leave to Remain |
