CEFR B2
PTE 51
IELTS 5.5 (Reading and Writing at 5.5 or higher)

In that case, you’ll need to attend paid English classes at the school and later pass our internal English test. Please note: if you don’t pass this internal test after completing the classes, you won’t be able to take the final course assessments.
