Yes, this course is tailor made therefore the student can be assured of course content and materials to suit his or her exact needs.
One-to-one lessons can be taken in addition to group lessons, thus the student can enjoy the atmosphere of a class, and also work on individual problem areas with a private teacher.
Timetables are flexible so that the course can be designed around the students’ wishes.
This course is available at any Twin English School.
There is no limit.
It can be difficult to open a bank account in the UK unless you are studying for six months or more. You will need proof of address and recognised ID, e.g. your passport. However, each one of our schools has agreements with certain banks in the area and the Welfare Officer at your school will be able to advise you.
The Oyster card is a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport services in London. The Oyster card is a plastic credit card sized smart card and it can be the cheapest way to travel around the capital.
Oyster cards are available for use in the London area and are the cheapest and most efficient way to travel around the Capital.
There are two types -
pre-pay (which works a bit like pre-pay mobile phones), where you put money on the card and there is no time limit for when you use it
travelcard where you buy a week or month of travel for the areas or 'zones' you wish to travel in
If you are studying for longer than fourteen weeks, you can get a discount Oyster card which give you 30% off your travel. The Welfare Officer in the London school will help you with that.
Before you leave your country to attend our course, you should check with the Embassies of all countries you wish to visit whether you need a visa.
Non-EU students will probably be charged up to £50 to see a doctor. If you have medical insurance you could claim this fee back. Try seeing a pharmacist first at the local chemist. It's free.
However, non-EU students studying for six months or more are entitled to free NHS hospital treatments. Please note that everyone, including EU and British citizens, has to pay for NHS prescriptions. They currently cost approximately £6.40
Twin English Centres London, Eastbourne and Salisbury are an A rated licensed sponsor granted by the UK Border Agency to enrol international students under Tier 4 of the Points Based System.
Please consult the British Embassy in your country to check if you require a visa to study in the UK.
When you book a course and pay your deposit of £150, you will receive your Certificate of Registration, which you should present at the British Embassy if you need to apply for a visa.
You must pay a deposit before we can send you your visa support. The balance of your fees are due 28 days before your course, so we recommend that you book your course and apply for your visa with plenty of notice. Otherwise, your balance of fees may become due before you have received your visa.
If you are refused a visa, you will be given a signed and dated refusal notice. You should then cancel your course and fax / email us a copy of your refusal statement, and we will be able to refund you fees (we will retain an administration fee of £60.)
If you decide that you would like to extend your course, you will need to fill out a FLR(S) form, which must be submitted to the Home Office along with several other documents, including your passport and evidence of attendance from your school and payment for the visa extension. For full details, see the Home Office website - www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk
