School

Most agencies offer you language courses at universities, which are often first rate but are also frequently very expensive. We are able to offer you a classic language school of comparable quality, but for a more reasonable price. You can register very simply through our agency by means of the registration link (further procedures are described below). There are three language schools that we currently work with in the UK. Finsbury Park Language School in northern London, for example, is an excellent choice as it offers first-rate courses of general, computer and business English at very friendly prices.

How to proceed

Choose duration and level of the course that you want to complete (the level, for the moment, is not binding and will be specified in accordance with an entrance test your first day at the school).

Fill in the registration form and submit it via e-mail to our agency. Once we review the completed form, we will send you more detailed information and agreements to sign via post.

Pay registration fee and deposit to our bank account by bank transfer. No tuition payment is needed at this time. Once the confirmation letter from the school in the UK is received (see below), you will need to pay the school tuition to us in full (less deposit).

The school will send you an original confirmation to the address on in the registration form once your payment is cleared. The confirmation is normally received within 3-4 weeks. Carefully review the confirmation, as you will need to present this at the border or at a UK embassy or consulate (see "Visa"). In addition, you may come to our school to pick up the confirmation and receipt. The remaining amount owed must be paid to us at this time, as we ourselves will have already paid the school in the UK in full in order to obtain the forms.

An accommodation certificate will also be sent if you choose to use our accommodation service. If you reserved the accommodation through the school, you will get the certificate from them.

As soon as you have the documents in your hands you can depart. On the basis of the documents you will get the study - work visa (stamp) into your passport that you will use to identify yourself to an employer. If you are preparing your journey well in advance you have the chance to apply for and receive your visa in the British embassy beforehand. For information regarding this procedure, please see "Visa" (citizens of some countries have to attend to the visa at embassies in their countries beforehand).

Classes are well structured, as there are 8 levels of advancement from which to choose. In addition, there are courses of Business and Computer English for foreigners, and combinations of these three are available. Courses start weekly, so there will be no interruptions to your daily class as new students may start in a different class at almost anytime. There are 15 hours of instruction per week (3 hours per day), and lessons begin at 9:30 AM, 12:30 PM or 3:30 PM. A working permit is granted when courses are paid for at least 6 months, and is valid for the duration of the course. We recommend paying for and studying at least 12 months, as your work permit will be valid for this duration. Further attendance at school is not checked and the visa remains valid in the case you choose not to study any further. After you obtain the visa all payments to us are nonrefundable. In the unlikely chance that you are not allowed into Great Britain, however, all fees are refunded to you less a 175 GBP administrative fee (the schools in the UK require this).

For those who choose to spend more time working, convenient "sandwich" courses are available. These courses are organized in three parts as follows: 1) first third of the course: attendance at school, 2) second third of the course: individual home preparation, 3) final third of the course: attendance at school. These courses are especially advantageous because they provide more free time for work and enable part-time study of English at the same time. Before your begin your studies you should thoroughly consider which course is better for you, classical or "sandwich".

At the end of your course, you may opt to pass either the IELTS or one of the Cambridge exams. The school will reserve you a spot at the exam for a fee of approximately 150 GBP.

English course

Your placement level is determined by an entrance test the first day at the school. The choice of hours to begin of the course is preliminary and in case of need could be changed for a fee of 60 GBP. Only the first choice is free. We are able to provide a placement examination before your departure for a small fee. Plan to spend about 10 GBP for books, which can be purchased in the school office.

Prolongation of the course as well as a study visa in Britain is possible just by paying for an extension of studies. The 6-month price would apply, as the discount for study of one year is given only when first registering. This is another reason why we recommend registering for one year at the beginning. The immigration officer can check your attendance at school while applying for your prolongation, and your attendance should be at least 80%. Our guide will advise you on how to apply for a prolongation of the study visa at the Home Office.
