1. What is needed to pass the B1 or A2 English language test

Applicants for UK citizenship must have in-depth skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing the English language, and they should know how to use these skills in work, study, and everyday life. That is why Fast Track Training and Tuition Center comes to help you in learning the English language to help pass your UK citizenship requirements. We are the organiser of Home Office-approved English Language tests.

2. English Language Knowledge is a Must for UK Citizenship!

If you are a non-European national and you are planning to settle in the UK as the spouse like husband, wife or civil partner of any British citizen, or other person settled in the UK, you will need to prove that you have A2 level of English language knowledge that you can easily communicate in the UK. This page describes the requirements for approved English Language tests for partners. Applicants of visas and permission to remain in the United Kingdom also known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) must meet this requirement.

3. This requirement was introduced on 29 November 2010.

You will meet the following requirement if you can show that:

You are a citizen of a majority English language-speaking country
You have passed an English language test that is approved by the UKBA at the appropriate level
You hold a graduation degree that was taught in English and is equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree or above.

4. Exemption to English Language Test in the UK

You don’t need to meet the approved English language tests for partner requirements if you provide satisfactory evidence that:
You are aged 65 or over when you make your UK citizenship application
If you are in a physical or mental condition that would secure you from meeting these requirements

There are some exceptional circumstances in which you need not meet these requirements

You will meet the English language requirement if you have passed an approved English language test at or above the appropriate level with one of the UKBA-approved test providers.

If you would still like to understand the entire Life in the UK test book then we do have an audio version on our full course. Our Life in the UK test practice questions includes the official handbook and audiobook (3^rd edition). You can access that content here.

Once you are ready to take your test make sure you have either listened to the audio book or have completed all the practice questions in their entirety to ensure that you pass with confidence!

If you have any questions or would like to speak to me personally or my team or teachers please visit our contact us page or call 07768279709 and we will be happy to help.

  I strongly recommend any courses from Fast Track as it was my second course with them after accomplish successfully the life in the UK test on 17th April 2021.

Therefore, 3 days of passing I decided to enrol in another course with them called Driving Theory Test Training, which they help me to pass my theory test first attempt on 3rd June 2021 in just 3 weeks of online training.

In addition, from my point of view it is the best place for you to consider in taking any kind of courses from Fast Track Training related to your desire.

I just don’t have words to say thank you to my teachers such as Mr Gazin and Mr Rahil as they motivated me a lot by giving me online group training via zoom twice a week, but if you are not able to attend a group session they also got one-to-one session.

Furthermore, the teachers are fully trained and have been teaching for over 10 years, which they are confident in giving you the support you need in order to pass your theory test first time like me, such as motivation, explanation and confidence as well as knowledge and online training from the platform plus online training via zoom.

Also, I have been told from Mr Rahil, who is one of the teachers from Fast Track Training that in the future they gonna produce recorded videos explaining any gaps from each topics besides mock tests.

Give a chance to yourself in passing your theory test first time with Fast Track Training!

That’s very kind indeed, one more time Fast Track Training, to be honest I am more than happy in doing my second review!

  I hired fast track training for my wifes A2 test preparation and from the first telephone call till the end they were very professional. The 121 training was ideal for my wifes preparation and she passed the exam in Leicester first time. Which was a massive relief for the visa process. The classes were on time and flexible. My wife really enjoyed the experience and her confidence grew with each lesson. Rahil is a great professional. Massive family way of working.
