Calibrand partners with UFI/learndirect for key European Assessment Conference
La ciudadania, die Staatsbuergerschaft, la citoyenneté, het staatsburgerschap. What do all these words have in common? Citizenship.
European countries have different history, culture and habits, but they all have one general requirement for people who want to become integrated in their rights and privileges - a citizenship test.
Calibrand and UFI/learndirect will hold a presentation about the
Life in the UK Citizenship Test and advantages that come with
integration and citizenship tests of immigrants. This will take
place at the 3rd European Association of Test Publishers (E-ATP)
conference in Prague, Czech Republic which starts on the 28th of
September. The presentation on Citizenship is from 11.00 a.m. to
11.30 a.m. on Thursday 29th September (Breakout 4-5).
Calibrand's Managing Director Denis Saunders says, "The Life in
the UK Citizenship test is an important milestone for people who
want to apply for naturalisation, or leave to remain on their
journey towards citizenship. The test has faced interesting
challenges and successes, such as online booking and payment,
contemporary increased net immigration to the UK, and fluctuations
in test volume. The presentation will examine how the challenges
are overcome within a successful partnership. Since November 2005,
over 1.2 million Life in the UK tests have been delivered
successfully through Calibrand's e-Assessment solution, together in
partnership with UFI/learndirect."
UFI/learndirect's Matthew White commented: "Our mission has always
been to ensure that candidates receive a fair test, in a safe and
welcoming environment in a timely fashion. A lot of hard work goes
into that behind the scenes to deliver this, but it is what the
success of the test has been built upon."
Themed "Growing Talent in Europe: Gaining advantage through
assessment", the E-ATP conference expects attendees from over 20
different countries including Ministries of Education, Awarding
Bodies, software suppliers, Institutes and policy-makers from the
European Union.
