"Very nice!"

Wellington Alves, student from Portugal

I had a good experience in Bournemouth. Bright School was very nice. Ben pays special attention to his students and he is very friendly. The teachers were good and are competent in the classroom.

I had a problem in my first week with my host, but Ben helped me with this and was very friendly.

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 £ 50 when you register.

Ask a question

"I have a prospective student who would like to study at Speak Up London. Can you get back to me on these by tomorrow? The student is from Venezuela and needs CADIVI approval to obtain funds for the course. Are you familiar with this procedure? To get this approval from the Venezuelan government the students need a stamped and signed letter of acceptance that includes a detailed class schedule and also a breakdown of the price of the course. The letter should be translated to Spanish if possible. Can you prepare this letter for our student? For Venezuelan students we will only charge the registration fee and express mail fee as first payment, and request a bank statement, afterwards we will ask you to send this letter to the student. Would this procedure be OK with you? The student would like to know if materials (books, copies, etc) are included in the price of the course or if he would need to pay something additional."

Yes we are familiar with CADIVI, we can provide the student with all documents required and everything will be translated to Spanish if necessary. I have to confirm this clause as we usually charge courier fee. I need to double check our agreement. All materials are provided so he will not need to pay any extra fee.
