Perché è importante pianificare il punteggio
Healthcare workers frequently conflate the Health and Care Worker visa SELT minimum with NMC registration requirements. A B1 result can support visa entry while still leaving you far short of the IELTS 7.0/6.5 writing profile the NMC commonly cites. Nurses who prepare only for the visa bar often face a second expensive test cycle before they can practise.
