Hi benjy,
If you look at the current UKBA listing of approved tests you'll see that IELTS tests have a minimum passing level at B1
Just as an aside, UKBA require a pass at level A1 (which is actually lower than B1)
The passing grades are shown as:-
Listening – 4.0
Speaking – 4.0
Reading – 4.0
Writing – 4.0
UKBA are only concerned with listening & Speaking

Thanks I shall pass that on to her! Regarding the TB cert as my fiancee is in GenSan we have had a TB test done in a private hospital there to make sure she is all clear (which she is) before she goes to Manila to get the authorised TB test done at the IOM as we thought this would save time and MONEY if we combine the 2 and she stays in there for 8 days or so. The CFO seminar as far as we were aware she had to take that after she was granted her visa before she left?

ahhh ok, well I'm not 100% sure on that part yet... I need to research that part more! I take it she gets the sticker after she has attended the seminar? Is it issued at the same time or do you have to wait for it?
Thanks Ben & Jennie

If she completes the seminar before securing a valid visa she does not get the sticker, only the seminar certificate.
If she completes the seminar AND is the holder of a valid visa she'll get the certificate and she'll get the sticker.
Have her telephone CFO to confirm if you're not convinced.

Mike for clarity and following UKBA information, even though a person may be required by the provider to sit all four components of an IELTS test, they would meet the English language requirement by gaining a score of a minimum of level 4 in speaking and listening. Even if they failed the reading and writing components and overall their final score was less than 4.
for example:-
Reading = 1.5
Writing = 1.0
Speaking = 4.0
Listening = 4.0
Overall IELTS score = 2.5
Here. the applicant is able to demonstrate they scored level 4 for speaking and listening in an approved test by an approved provider therefore an applicant could use such results to meet the English qualification for partners.

Ann, your friend needs to reach a minimum score of 4 for each element of Listening and Speaking.
I'm afraid that a score of 1 will not be acceptable.
My guess is that your friend was a bit nervous and maybe couldn't concentrate enough.
Tell her to practice some more and try again. I'm sure she can do since her speaking was fine.
When a person is nervous it's easy to lose a focus.
