Is LRN B1 Test acceptable by UKBA for ILR and Citizenship application?

What is LRN (Learning Resource Network)?

LRN is recognised as an awarding body by Ofqual, the qualifications regulator in England and for vocational qualifications both in England and Northern Ireland.

LRN creates qualifications for educational institutes, training providers, schools and employers. LRN has a wide portfolio English Qualifications for those who want to boost their English language skills for their professional or personal development. These qualifications are internationally recognised by employers, governments and professional bodies as providing proof of the skills and abilities they are looking for.

The UKVI website says:

You can prove your knowledge of English by having an English level B1 qualification that’s one of the following:
– an ESOL qualification at Entry 3 or higher (eg Level 1 or 2) on the Ofqual register taken in England, Wales or Northern Ireland

The LRN ESOL Qualification is on the OFQUAL register (Qualification Number: 600/4279/5). Going by this UKVI criterion, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or British Citizenship with an LRN B1 ESOL Certificate.

The LRN Entry 3 test is a Speaking and Listening test that lasts about 17 minutes.  In the test you are tested on your English Pronunciation, Grammar, Vocabulary, Discourse Management and Listening Comprehension. This is normally done via a discussion with you. You are NOT expected to know any grammar terminology.

You can see a Sample LRN Entry 3 Speaking and Listening test here. Also here are some common speaking topics for the B1 test.
