About this course

What the British Citizenship Diploma covers

This is an online business & career course you work through in your own time, on a phone, tablet or laptop. 10 modules, 15 hours of study, and no deadline on either. The pace is entirely yours: sit it in an afternoon or spread it over a month.

The material takes in An Introduction to British Citizenship, Life in the UK and English Language Tests, The Right to Stay in the UK and Finding Job Vacancies in the UK. Another 6 modules follow, and the Modules tab lists every one of them.

It is open to anyone, and written for people who have to use the subject rather than be examined on it. We list 90 Business & Career courses, of which 79 sit at Professional development. It is one of the longer ones in the subject, so budget an evening rather than a lunch break. Completing it earns a certificate you can download - useful as evidence of training, and not the same thing as a graded qualification.

The honest caveats: There is no CPD accreditation attached, which matters only if somebody has specifically asked you for it.
