ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS  International students are required to provide proof of English Proficiency. For entry to LFA, you must prove you can read, write, speak and understand English to a B2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), or equivalent. This level of English is required to access the course content, understand the technical filmmaking terminology used on the course, and to obtain a Student Visa. How do you prove your Level of English Proficiency? You will normally have to provide an IELTS Academic score of 6.0 with no band below 5.5. We do consider equivalent qualifications or an alternative Secure English Language Test (SELT) from the alternatives below, however, only certificates obtained in the past 2 years can be considered: Oxford English Language Level Test (ELLT) Pearson Test of Academic English TOEFL iBT LanguageCert International ESOL SELT Cambridge English Scale Who does not need to prove their English Proficiency? If you have completed your studies in the past 2 years in a country where English is the first language (such as the USA, Canada or Australia) you may not need a formal English language qualification. We evaluate each application individually and, on a case-by-case basis. Do I still need to demonstrate my English proficiency even if English is the official language of my country? You may still be required to provide evidence of your English proficiency, even if English is the official language of your country, except if you are from one of the countries or territories listed on GOV.UK or you have completed a qualification equivalent to a UK degree in one of them. What steps should you take if your English Proficiency does not meet LFA entry requirements? If you don't think your English language meets our entry requirements, you are encouraged to contact us with evidence of your existing achievement for assessment. Please contact us with a copy of your certificate or language qualification so we can check on your behalf. We evaluate each application individually and, on a case-by-case basis.
