English Language Requirement

Students are expected to be able to demonstrate English language comprehension at a level equivalent to IELTS (International English Language Testing System) 5.5 to be able to study BTEC Higher Nationals.

The Pearson expectation of IELTS 5.5 (Reading and Writing must be at 5.5) applies to all students recruited to BTEC level 4 and level 5 qualifications). The college is required to satisfy itself of the fact that the students have been recruited with integrity and that they will be able to cope with the rigour of the programme.

A centre can adopt its own internal English test. It is for the Centre to satisfy itself that the student’s score is commensurate with IELTS 5.5, but the expectation is not limited to the use of IELTS.

All students seeking admission to LCC (including EU and Overseas) are asked to provide one of the following:

• Recent evidence that their command of spoken and written English is at IELTS 5.5 (or equivalent) adequate for the programme of study for which they have applied. The expectation can be met using other English language tests such as Pearson PTE, City & Guilds, Cambridge and ESOL etc.
• Please note, evidence of English language proficiency is not needed for students who have studied in English for the final two years of school (e.g. GCSE).
• Completed a school leaving qualification containing English, which LCC considers to meet the CEFR B2 level in all four skills prior to the proposed date of enrolment.
• The college is permitted to adopt its own internal English language test to judge whether students meet this standard. It is for the College to satisfy itself that the student’s score is commensurate with IELTS 5.5, but the expectation is not limited to the use of IELTS. The college reserves the right, in individual circumstances, to specify an additional language requirement for an applicant.

Additional support will be provided on specific days organised by LCC to those students who has already got admission by satisfying the requirement and still wants to improve their English Qualification to cope with the course materials.
