Ufi Learn Direct, the organisation responsible for managing the Life in the UK test centres, has confirmed that it will introduce the revised Life in the UK test using a three month transition period. The transition period will allow test applicants to choose to sit either the current or new Life in the UK Test depending on which materials they have studied from.
