Personal Development: Life in the UK

The course will cover important laws, historical events, important people, and cultural and social behaviours of the UK. Anyone applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK or British Citizenship must be prepared to take the ‘Life in the UK’ test. The test now required under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 shows your knowledge of British life. On this course, you can find out more about what is required to pass the exam, while you improve your knowledge of the UK and practise your English through informal activities and discussion. You will need to have a good knowledge of English to join this course, and should be around Level 1 or Level 2 ESOL or Functional Skills level. If you have not already had a skills assessment to check your English level we can arrange this before you start the course.

Please note that you’ll need an internet connection to study this English course. This is so you can access our digital learning platform, Canvas. We use Canvas for homework, and also for tasks and activities in the classroom. You will need to use your phone in class to work on Canvas, and you should also bring a notebook and pen or pencil.
