Hi Terpe

Thank you for the link, was very useful

We visited the language college today and after an assessment they advised Gen is fairly close to being up to the standard required to take the test, we discussed IELTS and ESOL and they have recommended she takes the PET (Cambridge ESOL preliminary English test) in October.

She is going to attend college for 5 weeks to polish up on her English and build her confidence and thankfully it's not going to cost anything like what we where quoted.

They did not recommend the IELTS as something to do with they average the score out across all 4 parts or something so its more difficult.

Anyway I think we are there now and panic over, I'm sure as we so close now to applying for the ILR we will be having a few more sleepless night working through all the bureaucracy!

Will update on how she gets on at the college as might be useful to anyone else in the same position as us and need to use a private college to prepare for the B1 test.

Regards

Sam and Gen
