All International applicants to JCA must provide documentation of their proficiency in the English language. Most international students studying in the UK are required to present confirmation of their English language proficiency in the form of a test. Please read exemptions from language testing at the bottom of this page to see if you are excused from taking the English language test.
Approved TestsFurther adviceGenerally, your English language requirement is expressed as an IELTS score however JCA also accepts several other English language tests besides IELTS. You must present a certificate for 'IELTS Academic for UKVI' or another UKVI-approved SELT listed below. For these levels of study, IELTS Academic (not for UKVI) or other English proficiency exams not recognised by UKVI cannot be used to support a student visa application. The academy does not accept IELTS General or IELTS General for UKVI for any level of course. Please be aware that you must pass a test examination in only one sitting to receive the necessary language scores for both the overall test and each of the four skills unless the test provider excuses you from taking a skill based on a disability. A combination of the best scores from various test results is not acceptable.
