APPLYING British citizenship, whether it is yourself, your partner or a family member can feel like a stressful experience. Your dream is to settle down and build a life in the UK but it can seem like a daunting process with many steps to climb and hoops to jump through. One step where Pearson can help you make it as easy and convenient as possible is the English language proficiency requirement.

Pearson’s PTE Home English test is Home Office approved and can be taken when you are applying for UK family or work visas, settlement and citizenship. It is a pass-fail speaking and listening test at levels A1, A2 and B1. We know many test takers are nervous about facing a human examiner and this adds to stress levels on test days.

PTE Home takes away this added pressure. You do not have to speak to any examiner as our advanced technology means PTE Home is a fully computerised test. Other ways in which we aim to make this part of your journey as smooth as possible include:

• Fast results – typically in 48 hours
• Frequent test dates – you don’t have to wait months
• Simple to complete – no need to prepare a topic
• Convenient locations – find a centre near you

We have 23 centres across the UK, including 6 in Greater London, Holborn, Southgate, Mile End, Croydon, Uxbridge and Docklands.

Furthermore, we have 182 centres across the globe for those applying from abroad.

PTE Home has helped thousands of people come to the UK and build a new life.

But don’t just take our word for it. Let us leave you with Luciana who came to the UK from Romania and works in the NHS. Luciana used PTE Home to apply for British citizenship and said:

“Since passing my exam, I have been able to submit my paperwork for naturalization as a British citizen. My daughter can now experience this wonderful country, and the opportunities that it brings.”
