"Very disappointing - old facility, only one class"

K Y Kim, student from UK

The quality of the course provided was disappointing. The English level test was pointless because there were fewer than 10 students in total, and all students under 12 were placed in the same class regardless of their English proficiency. The facility was poor / old fashioned and they were taught in the basement.

The school also lacked a structured teaching approach, with the same topic being discussed for an entire week. I was also shocked that students were left to play computer games during breaks and when class ended early.

Overall, very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this.

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 LSI London Central (Junior). 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.
