I was wondering if anyone can point me in direction of the English test for entry into UK.

Or an example close to that which is used.

I'm trying to remove doubt for someone by having her try the test so they may move forward and feel easier about doing so.

Looks to me like the englush tests are behind pay walls so maybe all i can expect is an example of a test.

I understand there are different levels of testing, so if it makes it easier for anyone to reply then the situation is...

I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of any employers or connections in UK that might be open to employing a Filipino coming in to the UK.

For example, i have a Filipino friend who would come over if there were a job to come to. We are trying to figure things out so if anyone can offer any info would be much appreciated.

The job would be required in Scotland.

Thanks.]]> 40 Thu, 11 Aug 2022 09:19:05 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/ielts-a2-or-b1.19654/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/ielts-a2-or-b1.19654/ invalid@example.com (Lovela) Lovela
I am Lovela and I am coming to the end of my first 2.5 years of spouse visa and will be applying for further leave to remain soon.

I want to know if I can take IELTS B1 now and will it not expire by the time I apply for my Indefinite Leave to Remain?

Thank you in advance.]]> 2 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 19:21:05 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/academic-or-general-training.19617/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/academic-or-general-training.19617/ invalid@example.com (Heathen) Heathen 1 Mon, 05 Apr 2021 19:48:43 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/different-way-to-pronounce-words.18995/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/different-way-to-pronounce-words.18995/ invalid@example.com (bigmac) bigmac 10 Sat, 26 Sep 2020 17:10:38 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/so-whats-with-begining-a-sentence-with-so.18562/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/so-whats-with-begining-a-sentence-with-so.18562/ invalid@example.com (Heathen) Heathen does anyone know why ?.]]> 20 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 07:20:38 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/tagalog-tutor-wanted.12563/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/tagalog-tutor-wanted.12563/ invalid@example.com (wdfan) wdfan
I live in north west London (Harrow) and am looking for someone to help me learn the Tagalog language. Does anyone know someone who can help? I will pay for their time of course.
