The B1 English test required to apply for British Citizenship by Naturalisation
Fixed package prices, not hourly rates. ELS does not administer official SELT exams. Official test fees are paid separately to an approved provider.
To apply for British Citizenship by Naturalisation, you must pass a B1 Secure English Language Test (SELT) from a UKVI-approved provider. This proves to the Home Office that you have the required level of English to become a British Citizen.
The B1 SELT tests Speaking and Listening at intermediate level. You need to demonstrate that you can communicate clearly in English in a range of everyday situations — not just at the most basic level.
Elite Language Solutions is an expert SELT preparation provider offering B1 preparation courses specifically tailored to citizenship applicants, and help booking your official test with an approved provider.
Conversation with a trained examiner at B1 level — covering everyday topics, experiences and opinions. You need to speak clearly and maintain a natural exchange.
B1-level listening tasks requiring you to understand the main ideas and specific details from recordings of conversations, announcements and talks.
We will confirm availability and pricing within one working day.
