As of October 2005, adults who want to become a British citizen will need to demonstrate their knowledge of life in the UK by successfully completing the new Life in the UK test. In addition to the existing English language requirement, applicants will now need to pass the Life in the UK test or successfully complete the new English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Skills for Life course.
Applicants who already possess a good standard of English (ESOL Entry 3 or above) will take the Life in the UK test. They will be given 24 multiple choice questions designed to test their knowledge of life in this country. The questions will focus on all areas of UK society - on a range of topics - from UK traditions to the laws that govern us.
Applicants whose English is below ESOL Entry 3 standard can take a specially developed ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with Citizenship course. This will combine language skills with information about life in the UK. Applicants who successfully pass an ESOL with citizenship course will have met both the language and the knowledge of life in the UK requirements for naturalization. The tests were thoroughly trialed before being introduced and feedback from those who took them was good.
Citizenship Training School (CTS) is a privately setup organisation which works together with the community to enable members of the public who wish to apply for citizenship. Their main objectives are to ensure a high level of professionalism within the Further Educational Sector for Life Long Learning.
The syllabus includes materials from the Skills for Life curriculum, as this is recognised by the awarding body, ESB (English Speaking Board), with which we are fully registered and affiliated who in turn are a acting body of the home office.
CTS will offer a short course for learners who need sufficient knowledge of the U.K in order to apply for citizenship. Successful learners will receive a recognised qualification from ESB which will enable them to apply for British citizenship.
We aim to provide a community service and target individuals who are in the lower income band and from the poorer communities and ethnic minorities. We aim to conduct our business in accordance to the laws and regulations set out by the home office and ESB.
