School location

Our English school is just a short walk from the Royal Liver Building, from whose roofs the mythical Liver Birds watch over the town – and the Cavern Club, where the Beatles first performed.
All the world once flowed through the port of Liverpool: coffee, sugar, silk – and people all passed through Britain’s gateway to the Atlantic. Liverpool’s legacy of seafaring and trade is tangible in the stark grandeur of the Victorian docks and warehouses and the extravagant buildings created to display the wealth of the city’s Edwardian merchants and bankers. And you can sense its history as a cultural melting pot in the music with which Liverpool continues to reach out to the world.

"Deceptive"

Daniel Carmona Farres, student from Spain

Overall organization: deceptive. Personal attendance: deceptive.
I stated very clearly that I needed high-level grammar lessons plus improve my writing skills to achieve beyond 7 in IELTS. I was given an entry test, where I scored a proficiency level. I was put in an intermediate-advanced level class, mixed with pupils enable to write a single sentence in English. Teachers knew far less grammar than myself and, what is worse, did not have their lessons prepared. They spoke a very basic English, with a range of vocabulary that would not get a 7 in IELTS.

Moreover, the website offers 28 lessons per week in the course I paid for (IELTS Supplementary). I was given 15 lessons per week. In Spain, we call this a CHEAT.

And I won't spend my time talking about accommodation because there are no adjectives to describe how awful they were.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from Kaplan International. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 40 when you register.
