Take a look at the UKBA webpage here called - English language requirementOriginally Posted by DaveW
You'll see there's quite a selection of different tests available, different providers and different test centres.
The UKBA site states that:-
"In the test, you will need to demonstrate a basic command of English (speaking and listening) at level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference.
Someone assessed at level A1 can understand and use simple, everyday expressions and very basic phrases.
You will not need to demonstrate reading, writing or grammar skills.
Plenty of forum members have taken a TOEIC test which is done by Hopkins.
Many members have also taken IELTS
Do be aware that IELTS is a slightly higher level (B1) so if you're not confident with your English that might be quite a stretch.
Many of the test centres can accommodate review classes for those whose self-confidence needs a boost.
Once you've reviewed the UKBA information don't be shy to ask any specific questions here.
If you're just starting out on the visa journey why not take some time as a very first step to review this thread and follow all the included links to the UKBA site.
