IELTS Life Skills is an English language test which provides proof of English speaking and listening skills at Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels A1, A2 or B1.

[4] UKVI announced changes to Secure English Language Tests (SELT) for visa purposes in February 2015.

[5] On 18 January 2016 the UK government announced the A2 English language requirement for family route migrants seeking to extend their stay in the UK a further two and a half years.

IELTS Life Skills does not test Reading and Writing, as it is designed to meet immigration requirements for which applicants only need to demonstrate their Speaking and Listening skills.

Candidates will receive one copy of the IELTS Life Skills Test Report Form.

The Life Skills tests are available in locations specified by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
