The Common European Framework's (CEFR) A1 level of speaking and listening is tested in Life Skills A1. An examiner and
one additional test-taker will participate in the 16–18 minute speaking and listening combination exam. Your test
results won't be impacted by the performance of the second test taker. The findings can be used to apply for certain UK
visa categories, such as the "family of a settled person" visa.
You will be assessed on your ability to listen and respond to spoken English where you have to obtain and convey basic
information and communicate on familiar topics.
The examiner might ask you to describe a topic, give opinions or preferences and justify those, and explain and expand
on a topic. You will also be expected to communicate with both the examiner and the other test taker.
