Thanks, raynaputi.

I can't see any expiry date or validity date in the certificate. Its only the exam date. Does that mean its still valid?

Thanks again

What test did you take? If it was IELTS or TOEIC, then it would be expired since validity would only last for 2 years. Please check with your test provider to verify.

I took the A1 level English test before i came here.

Which test provider? Because you need to ask them if your test certificate has expiration or not. And if the test provider you took the test from is not included in the accredited list now, you might need to do a retake.

Sorry to interrupt here, but ALL the tests on the UKBA approved list are at least A1 level.
But which specific test did you take?
Please take a look at your certificate.

Hello Sir Terpe,

Having been examined by EDI

So you test was ELSA. (English Language Skills Assessment)

CEF = Common European Framework
EDI = Education Development International

I believe that ELSA scores may have a validity of 2 years.
I also think that EDI are no longer on the UKBA approved list.

I would strongly suggest you make contact to UKBA to confirm if the ELSA certification from EDI can be used

I'm sorry to say that I have a feeling if it's no longer on the UKBA approved list then it's no longer valid.

Thank you very much, Sir Terpe

I will contact the UKBA near the time
