Nope, I don't think so... well it depends what course you're going to take...

Hello Zobel....

Thanks for the reply (and thanks for the rep I received from you for my previous post!).

Got my bachelors degree from Manila, but not business related. Since I've been in commerce all my career life, I decided to go back to school and get a business management degree.

Glad you made that i couldn't find me specs

Well they would not ask most people who live in the UK if you can prove in the interview that you can communicate i doubt it.

I thought it would suit me best to do distance learning so not to affect my full time job. I don't think there's any interviews required prior to enrollment. They only ask for my qualifications plus work experiences and said I qualify. I do not worry much if I really need to take that ielts test, but I'd also appreciate the time I'd save if I do not have to do it.

Thanks for the reply!

distant learning with who ?

open university is good, you don't need any qualifications to start most of the degrees, but depending on your level of English and maths it might be wise you do a basic English\maths course. but you probably wouldn't need to..


have you ILR ? and i think you must have had it 1 yr, or you will probably have to pay international fees

If you are married to someone with settled status in the UK I think it's you just need to have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years, during which you didn't receive full-time education for any length of time.

(though for most spouses that would mean having ILR)

Thanks Joe...I am looking at RDI for a few months now and viewed their prospectus which seems okay to me. I contacted ICS a few days ago and they told me to get IELTS test first and then I can move forward.

I'll check on Open Uni....thanks!

When we finally decided to move in to the UK, I obviously applied for a visa and I was given an ILR automatically. It's kind of weird for some, but it's definitely what I have. I went to renew the visa a year after but I was told it's not necessary because I already have an Idefinite Leave to Remain.

I'll speak with them again and see what they have to say about this.

Many thanks, guys.
