Day 1 - Saturday
The first session combines a day of getting to grips with the test and its possible content. We will study the material you need to learn, and show techniques you can use to ensure you memorise the content. We will discuss methods that aim to make passing the test easy and provide you with hints and tips.


The day will be dispersed with frequent testing so you can discover if you have gaps in your knowledge. The content covered will include topics so the first day will be very history-heavy, much as the test is. Finally, we will walk to a pub nearby to spend a couple of hours doing a pub quiz with a difference – it will include questions from the test and ‘Life In The UK’ -themed prizes are up to be won!


Day 2 - Sunday
Second day starts with an in-depth review of individual performance on day 1. Testing and analysis will become more frequent and we cover topics 4-5 before revision. These topics are on the UK as a modern society and the UK Government, law and the role of the citizen in all of this. However, despite these titles, the course remain highly focused on history. As with day 1, we end the day by going to a nearby pub to test our knowledge – and delegates/students will receive a ‘Certificate of Attendance’ awarded to them at the end of the quiz.We will include in the day a discussion of our package of post-course support and care such as how we can assist course members in finding the nearest testing centre for them. We will even be happy to accompany you to the test centre and can arrange a celebration ceremony for successful candidates.
