FAQs - qualified lawyer transfer scheme (QLTS)

If you are an intra-UK applicant completing the QLTS1 application or an international applicant completing the QLTS2 application, you must be able to show that you meet our English language requirements. You can show this in any of the following ways:

• Pass an English language test at the specified level/pass mark with an approved provider. Your test must have been passed within two years of your application for a certificate of eligibility. 
• Contact UK NARIC and ask them to assess your degree to show that it has been taught in English and is equivalent to a UK HFEQ Level 6 (e.g. bachelor's) degree.
• Demonstrate that you hold a HFEQ Level 6 (e.g. bachelor's) degree or higher from a university recognised by NARIC in a country in which NARIC has stated that all higher education takes place in English.
• Show that you hold a HFEQ Level (e.g. bachelor's) degree or above from a Department of Business, Innovation and Skills recognised UK university.
