What is the IELTS Life Skills Test?
IELTS Life Skills is for people who are applying for a UK Settlement Visa and need to prove their English speaking and listening skills at CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) Levels A1, A2 or B1.

IELTS Life Skills tests are available at three CEFR levels:
-
IELTS Life Skills – A1 Speaking and Listening

IELTS Life Skills – B1 Speaking and Listening.
You can learn everything you need to know about this test and where to take it on their FAQ page.

Hi Ryan
I am delighted to inform you that Buarian finally passed her A1 Life Skills test thanks to your help and guidance. She had taken the exam twice previously before we came to Vantage. Your A1 Prep Course gave her the language skills, expanded her vocabulary and mainly boosted Buarian's confidence. From now on I will recommend Vantage Siam to everyone.
