If you have any questions regarding the requirement, please do not hesitate to contact us

5. Proof of your knowledge of English

If you have completed a university degree that was taught in English, we are able to verify your knowledge of English.

 

Please inform us, if you have not attended university and you have not completed a English Language Test (for example IELTS). UKISS will provide guidance on how you can verify your knowledge of English to satisfy the visa and job requirements.

6. Criminal Record Certificate

A) If you are applying from outside the UK, candidates need to provide a criminal record certificate to satisfy the requirements for your visa. It is also needed because candidates will be working in direct and unsupervised contact with vulnerable people.

 

The certificate is needed before your visa application is submitted, so candidates do not immediately need to send it to UKISS. However, as the application process for criminal certificates may take relatively long, candidates are advised to start this process as soon as they can.

 

B) If you have lived in more than one country, you might need to provide a certificate from each country you’ve lived in, depending on your age and how long you stayed in each country.

If you’re under 28, you’ll need a certificate from any country you’ve stayed in for a total of 12 months or more since you turned 18.

If you’re 28 or over, you’ll need a certificate from any country you’ve stayed in over the last 10 years.
