The A1 Experts

Working with elementary students is a special skill. While many can teach the intermediate and advance levels of English, having the know-how and patience to teach those who are just starting to understand English’s basic fundamentals requires a different kind of expertise. 

Vantage has trained hundreds of Settlement Visa candidates who have who have successfully passed the United Kingdom Visa and Immigration (UKVI) requirements for an A1 level in speaking and in listening.

 

What is the A1 Level?

The A1 is the beginning level in the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). The CEFR has become the industry standard in measuring language proficiency. You can learn more by watching the very short Cambridge-produced video, Understanding the CEFR.  (You can watch it in Thai on this page.)

 

What is IELTS?

IELTS is a group corporation consisting of the British Council, IDP Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment.  

The British Council and IDP run the tests worldwide (and here in Thailand). Cambridge English's role is in the test creation.  

The new IELTS Life Skills exam has been developed by Cambridge English exclusively for UK Settlement Visa applicants.
