For the Tier 4 sponsorship we are not registered under the list of institutions. However we still accept students from overseas.
Most students apply for a short-term visa.
Do we offer sponsorships?
Unfortunately, we do not offer sponsorships.
Do we accept students that cannot speak English?
It is highly important that our students have a good understanding of the English language both written and verbal. If the student is unable to communicate in English they have the option of bringing an interpreter with them. The interpreter is the student's responsibility to source and they must attend every lesson with them. The interpreter may need to also apply for a Visa.
