What you need to know:
To apply for settlement as the husband, wife or civil partner of a British citizen or someone present and settled here, you have to prove that you have good knowledge of the English language and about life in the UK.
At EDC we provide an ESOL for UK Citizenship course for students whose first language is not English and who wish to apply for British citizenship, or who would simply like to know more about living in the UK. It will cover many areas about living and working in the UK. The course contains many units on a variety of aspects of British citizenship and ESOL. Students may join the course at any time.
This course provides a valid route for gaining UK citizenship and offers an alternative to completing the Life in the UK test. We do not offer the Life in the UK test at EDC.

This test consists of 24 multiple-choice questions, based on the information in the handbook 'Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship' (ISBN: 9780113413133).
If you have completed an ESOL course in order to meet the 'knowledge of language and life in the UK' requirement when you applied for settlement in the UK, you will not need to show again that you meet this requirement.
