New Options at LAL Language Schools in 2010 |
|
|
|
|
LAL London: a year round school for adults 18+ (new school opening in January 2010) - the school is located in the beautiful suburb of Twickenham. The area is a perfect setting for adults to enjoy everything that is good about London - easy accessibility to Central London (25 minutes by train), short transfer to Heathrow airport (25 minutes by taxi) and picturesque settings such as Richmond, Teddington, Bushy Park and Hampton Court. We feel that the location of our school as well as the strong emphasis on communicative General English courses makes us the perfect school in London. http://lalschools.com/lal-language-centres/englishlc/lalengland/adults/adults-london/
LAL Torbay: a large, well established school in Torbay in south-west England providing courses for adults year round and a very popular host family young learner programme in Easter, summer and autumn - LAL Torbay is the largest school in South West of England. Torbay is one of Britain's most popular holiday areas with beautiful sandy beaches. And it's an attractive and undiscovered destination for Thai students.
Our host families are carefully selected and we find the students a home that matches with their specific requirements. All of our hosts live in Torbay, so your students do not need to worry about long journeys.
LAL Summer Schools: 4 highly successful international residential centres for young learners - Kelly College (Tavistock, Devon) and Taunton School in the south west as well as St Mary's University, London and St Swithun's (Winchester, Hampshire) both with easy access to central London and Heathrow airport.
Our commission structure for individual students in the UK is as follows:
- Adult individuals:
Torbay - 30% on tuition only
London - 25% on tuition only (extra 5% commission for bookings with starting date from January to March 2010!)
- Young learner individuals: 20% on the full package including accommodation. Special rates for groups on request.

New UK VISA rule still causing confusion! |
|
|
|
|
The new UK visa rules are still causing considerable worry and anxiety not just among agents but also at schools and college across the UK.
At the heart of the mess, is the ambiguous wording on the Tier 4 section (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers/points/sponsoringmigrants/eligibility/tierstudents/) of the rules. Students appear to need to tell the UK Immigration inspectors at Heathrow on arrival that they will be studying (even if it is for less than 6 months).
Then they will receive a slightly modified Tourist Visa.
Technically, without this, they cannot study, although the UK Border Unit says they will not ¡¥police¡¦ this. There is also a rumour that TAIWANESE students are exempt from this ruling for some reason. And looking at the UK Visa website only confuses the matter still further with contradictory and ambiguous sections.
Our advice is to ask the school you are booking students with on short term courses to clarify THEIR POSITION on admitting students with and without the right visas.
For really good advice on how the regulations affect language schools in particular, contact Nicholas Bray or the London Study centre. He seems to have a firm grasp on how it all works!

A NEW TYPE of COURSE from United International College in Central London
|
|
|
 |
|
 UIC has pioneered a WORKSKILLS COURSE from within WorkExperience UK (a sub group of English UK) and is one of only 2 centres authorised to run the course in the UK. This course is delivered at level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework and, under the new visa regulations (Points based system), this means that students can do a full time paid work experience course as a part of their studies. With the new regulations this is now the ONLY way it is possible to do a short work placement (whether paid or not) or any kind of internship unless you do not need a visa to work in the UK. Courses at this level are equivalent to the end of High School / university entrance. Our course is flexible and modular so it is possible to gain the qualification through selecting a suitable range of modules from those on offer. Some of the modules focus especially on gaining practical work experience and an essential component of those modules is to satisfactorily complete a work experience. Weekly start dates
Typical modules included in the course are:
Communicating Solutions to others
Interview Skills
Effectiveness at Work
Preparing for Work Placement
Developing confidence at Work
Applying for a job
Reflecting on Work placement
Presentation skills for work
Personal skills for leadership
Giving and receiving feedback
Negotiation Skills and Persuasion in the workplace
WE ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD AGENTS TO REPRESENT US AND WORK WITH US TO BRING THIS COURSE TO ALL MARKETS
UIC is located in the centre of London and has a very broad nationality mix. We have a great deal of experience in organising courses which include work experience and work placements and can offer you a very unique and a fantastic opportunity

what's new in 2010?
We are really delighted to welcome the Free Bird Institute (in the FIJI ISLANDS) to the Asiaquest group this week.
International House Bangkok has just opened in central Bangkok. 
Calgary is the top city out of 21 major urban areas in terms of living quality and economic potential, according to a new study released by the Toronto Board of Trade. The board launched its first-ever study of the world's biggest cities on Tuesday, measuring urban locations in terms of quality of life and economic competitiveness. "Calgary's blistering economy over the past five years may have powered it to the top, but its overall favourable environment provides a solid basis for attracting and keeping people," according to the report, which was called Scorecard on Prosperity. Calgary was the only city to earn an overall grade of "A."
It is now possible to study either on a long-term General English or examination programme OR / AND attend an excellent college offering all Business related courses in Dublin, Ireland.
