What is the lowest level of an approved English qualification that can be used to apply for British citizenship?

  1. aA1
  2. bA2
  3. cB1Correct answer
  4. dC2 only

Why?

For citizenship, an approved English qualification must be at level B1 or higher (B1, B2, C1 or C2). A1 and A2 are too low, and you do not need the very top level, C2.
