  • NMC registration planning (higher scores may apply)

Почему важно планировать баллы

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.

Распространённые ошибки, которых стоит избегать

  • Booking standard IELTS when IELTS for UKVI at an approved SELT centre is required.
  • Using expired test results outside validity windows required by your visa subclass.
  • Preparing only for an overall score when per-skill minimums determine eligibility.
  • Preparing only for the visa SELT minimum when NMC registration requires a much higher IELTS profile.

Ваш путь подготовки

  1. Confirm your visa route requires IELTS for UKVI at an approved SELT centre—not standard IELTS.
  2. Identify whether your role needs CEFR B1 (4.0 each band) or B2 (5.5 each band) for planning.
  3. If you plan NMC registration, target IELTS 7.0 overall with 6.5 writing—not only the visa SELT minimum.
  4. Enter your latest section scores in the visa requirement checker linked on this page.
  5. Prioritize your weakest band with timed section practice before booking another UKVI test.
  6. Re-verify GOV.UK SELT guidance within 30 days of your visa application submission.
