Your sponsor must ensure that you are competent in English language before assigning you a CAS. Your sponsor must check
you are competent at a minimum level of CEFR B1 for courses below NQF level 6. (This also applies if you are studying an
English language course, a pre-sessional course before a degree and a foundation degree), and at CEFR level B2 for courses at
NQF level 6 and above. The English language requirement may be waived if you are considered to be a gifted student by your
sponsor, you are studying at a Higher Education Institution (HEI), and authorisation has been given by the academic registrar.
Before completing this section of the form you should refer to the Immigration Rules and Tier 4 policy guidance to check how
your English level has been assessed.
