Hi all!

Can I get one, very helpful, advice from you guys?

Recently, I have received offer of a place in Bay of Plenty Polytechnic.
As one of the required documents to send back, since I am not native speaker, I need to send IELTS or English language proof. I have taken IELTS (non academic) in 2003, with and overall score of 7, which seems helped me to get the offer from BOP Polly.

My question is, can I, instead of taking the test again, send proof that I have been working in English language environment for the last 9 years? Would that proof, along with the expired IELTS test, be enough to get me a place in BOP Polly?

Thanks a lot!

My immediate reaction is to think you'd better email this query to the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic themselves. On the face of it, what you can provide looks like a very reasonable alternative to what is asked for: it will just depend how rigid their rules are, I imagine.
