"I'd have preferred to be in a class with a higher level because I was a little bored but everyone was very nice."

Camille Bertaux, student from France

Our teacher was very kind and the staff too. Classes were a little simple for my level and we didn't communicate much between students except during the break. I only did the Friday activity but it went super well. I celebrated my birthday in college and everyone was invested in it, it made me really happy :)

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.
