English Test Centres for A1 in Thailand

In the summer of 2010 the British Government announced that it was introducing an English test for people from non English speaking countries

 

UK Border Agency then announced that the date for the test would be 29th November 2010. From that date on if you are applying to become a resident in the UK, for example applying for a fiancé or settlement visa you will require to have a certificate confirming that you have passed the test

 

The test will comprise of two parts of what is known as the A1 common european framework test, speaking and listening skills. Failure of either will require a re-test.

 

UK Border Agency have listed approximately 16 UK and 2 Japanese Institutions that were accredited to carry out the A1 test. Some may have agents in Thailand and some will send a tester over to carry them out (could be expensive)

 

One of the accredited companies Mont Rose College of Management and Sciences www.mrcollege.org.uk will be running tests through their agent in Bangkok and Pattaya. This has involved introducing a very clear policy to follow exactly the requirements and have trained and accredited their testers

 

The test itself is fairly difficult and certainly requires good skills in listening and speaking the English language. Many will find this difficult so Pre-Test seminars are being run in both locations to enable candidates to see for themselves whether they need further coaching/schooling and also save on a possible failed test fee. They will take the form of group sessions, they should be fun and no one will feel embarrassed. It will help candidates to get an understanding of what and how the test is conducted so they can decide on their next course of action

 

You can book through our agency or ring/email direct/call into one of the test centres
