WHY B2 ENGLISH
From 26 March 2027, many UK settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain, ILR) routes require English speaking and listening at CEFR level B2, up from B1, unless an exemption applies. B2Ready helps you build the listening, reading and vocabulary side of B2 English. It has no speaking practice, and it does not prepare you for any one test. Always check the current requirement for your own route on GOV.UK before you apply.
