Immigration Tests

Citizenship Test
Advice to naturalisation applicants – questions and answers.
What do I need to do before sitting the Citizenship Test?
The test is based on the handbook “Life in the United Kingdom” 3rd Edition and on the Jersey Supplement (from 16th October 2014), both must be read fully. You should therefore prepare for the test by reading these publications (see question below ‘What does the test consist of?’). Copies of “Life in the United Kingdom” may be purchased from a bookshop or downloaded from here. The Jersey supplement is issued free of charge and is available from the Customs and Immigration Service and Highlands College.
I have read the test material, what do I do now?
You should contact Highlands College and ask for arrangements to be made for you to sit the Citizenship Test. The College runs exams on a frequent basis and will charge you a fee of £55 for the test.
What does the test consist of?
You will have 45 minutes in which to answer 24 questions selected at random from a large bank of questions. Eighteen questions will be based on the handbook “Life in the United Kingdom” and six on the Jersey supplement. Part One of the supplement is a short history of Jersey and Part Two is a profile of life in Jersey now and in more recent times. The questions are in a multiple choice or “true or false” format and therefore there is little writing to do.
What happens after I have taken the test?
The test will be marked by Highlands College and if you pass you will be awarded a certificate. You must then produce that certificate when you make your application for naturalisation to the Customs & Immigration Service.
What if I fail the test?
There is no restriction on the number of times you sit the test but you will have to pay the full fee on each occasion that you take it.
I’m not sure if my knowledge of English is good enough, what should I do?
If you are in doubt you may arrange with Highlands College to be assessed by an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) assessor.
My knowledge of English is not good enough to take the Citizenship Test. I still want to become a British citizen, what can I do?
You are advised to enrol on an ESOL language course with Highlands College.
Where can I get advice from about naturalisation?
You may contact the Passport Office of the Customs and Immigration Service at Maritime House, St Helier, Jersey JE1 1JD

In 1999, the College’s Adult & Community Education programme moved to the site with a view to increasing lifelong opportunities for Islanders. Over the next few years the programme grew significantly and was able to offer daytime and evening leisure courses at a venue that worked extremely well for adults.
