IELTS Life Skills Preparation
A1 · A2 · B1 — for UK visas & settlement

IELTS Life Skills is a Speaking and Listening test at CEFR levels A1, A2 and B1, accepted for UK family, settlement and citizenship visa applications. Our examiner-led preparation builds the everyday conversational English the test requires.
What the test covers
IELTS Life Skills assesses Speaking and Listening only — there is no Reading or Writing. You are tested in pairs with another candidate in a short, face-to-face session, and the result is simply Pass or Fail (there is no band score). It is a focused, everyday-English test, not the full academic IELTS.
Which level do you need?
- A1 — UK family / spouse visa to join a partner or family member
- A2 — visa extension on the family route
- B1 — indefinite leave to remain (settlement) & British citizenship
