Which IELTS test to practice
For a new UK Skilled Worker visa, practice IELTS for UKVI. Academic and General Training both count. Ordinary IELTS and IELTS Online are not accepted: the test must be a Secure English Language Test taken in person at an approved SELT center. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules; only Reading and Writing change. General Training Reading uses notices, advertisements and workplace documents, and Writing Task 1 is a letter.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | CEFR level | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| A new Skilled Worker application, or a switch from a different visa | B2 | Not used | 5.5 |
| Extensions and updates where your permission was granted under the earlier requirement | B1 | Not used | 4.0 |
Before you book the real test
The Home Office can change this level. Check the current requirement and the approved SELT center list before you book: Skilled Worker visa: knowledge of English (GOV.UK).
