A modern learning method to prepare for Swiss naturalisation

Designed by solutions architect Vincenzo Casini during his own citizenship procedure in Morges, the Swiss Naturalization Test app modernises civic learning in French-speaking Switzerland and across the whole country. Against the austerity of administrative PDF documents and static questionnaires, this digital tool offers an interactive training environment that is available anywhere, on public transport as much as during short daily breaks. Entirely free, carrying no advertising and requiring neither an account nor any banking detail, the platform gives immediate access to a comprehensive database of more than 13,000 official questions coming directly from the communes and the cantons.

Gamification and personalised revision inspired by Duolingo

The app carries the playful learning principles of the big language platforms over to the Swiss institutional and civic field. Through a spaced-repetition algorithm, Swiss Naturalization Test analyses the user's strong points in order to space out the themes already assimilated and to bring back more frequently the sensitive subjects, such as the workings of the political institutions or the particularities of the communes. To support candidates along their path, a built-in calculator plans the ideal revision pace according to the date of the exam, adjusting the daily volume of questions through visual progress indicators.

A general-knowledge challenge open to the whole population

While the app has proved its practical effectiveness with many candidates who obtained full marks in their official sessions, it reaches well beyond the framework of naturalisation alone. The presence of competitive modes, daily challenges and online duels allows Swiss citizens of every age to measure their knowledge of geography, cantonal history, institutions and local symbols. Usable from school age onwards to accompany the school curriculum, the tool is available on the App Store and on Google Play, as well as on its official web portal.
