Confused..

if im not mistaken A1 is the level that u need to pass,no matter where you will be taking it (IELTS or TOIEC)as long it is an approved test center by the UKBA......good luck!

This is correct.
There is no test called the A1 test.
A1 is the level which must be passed in order to satisfy UKBA.

I would suggest to review the UKBA approved listing and find an approved test centre and provider near to where you live.
Might be a good idea to request information on how long it takes to process the pass certificate. Some members have had to wait a long time.

There's plenty of threads/posts on this subject if you do a quick search.

Good luck
