Q&A - Questions and answers about England UK

  • We do not have a filter to classify schools by size.
    However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.
    Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 07, 2024
  • As per 2023, a return flight ticket and a statement about the new academic year starting may be accepted as enough evidence.

    It is safer, however, to also provide details of how the English language course will help the student to continue their studies or find employment in their home country.
    Naadiya, Compliance Manager from English UK - Oct 19, 2023
  • As per 2023, students who apply for short-term study visas must submit financial documents from their own bank accounts to prove they have sufficient funds. This rule also applies to 16 & 17-year-olds. Accounts relied on must be in the name of the applicant (either alone or as a joint account holder).
    Naadiya, Compliance Manager from English UK - Oct 19, 2023
  • The most common issue currently is when financial documents are not in the student's name. Another issue is when there is no evidence about a student's plans for the future.
    Naadiya, Compliance Manager from English UK - Oct 19, 2023
  • As per 2023, Short-term study visas allow students to study English in the UK for between 6 and 11 months.
    Naadiya, Compliance Manager from English UK - Oct 19, 2023
  • Yes, the invoice will be issued by the school.
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 19, 2023
  • Family Programmes are usually available every July of the year.
    Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 04, 2023
  • Even if you plan to travel next year, you can book now and benefit from this year's prices; from 1 January, most schools will increase their prices. However, you will need to have your booking 100% paid for before the end of this year.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - May 09, 2023
  • For the time being (2023), European students have free medical coverage with the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 20, 2023
  • At the moment, European students are covered free of charge with the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 20, 2023
  • What you are looking for is offered by almost all the schools we work with in the UK. If you provide us with some more information, such as start date and duration in weeks, we can send you some proposals.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
  • You can apply for a Standard Visitor visa or a Short Term Study visa depending on the length of your language course. These two types of visa do not entitle you to work.
    Irina Zotova, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 20, 2023
  • We are an International agency based in Spain, so we cannot accept the teacher bonus as it is administratively incompatible with the Italian miur management timeframe, however I recommend that you ask them for an updated list of schools that accept this type of bonus.
    Antonio Zoppo, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 01, 2022
  • The participants in the programs come from all over the world. You can see the mix of nationalities and the average age on the school profile.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 10, 2022
  • We can recommend schools which offer English for Law courses. For the TOLES exam preparation we recommend private lesson packages that you can tailor to your needs.
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2022
  • We have several English, Arts and Design courses in England. They can be found on our website, or you can contact us and we will be happy to give you a link with all the options.
    Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2022
  • In some cases yes, the schools offer the possibility for a walk in visit prior to confirm the booking. Of course this is on request, and subject to availability.
    Ángel Marcos Portoles, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 11, 2022
  • You certainly can! Check our list of countries where you can study English. Through our dropdown menu, you will see exotic destinations like Thailand, Indonesia and even the Philippines!
    Ángel Marcos Portoles, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 07, 2022
  • Yes, simply tell us when you would like to start, the total number of private lessons you would like to book and your time availability so we can send you more information.
    Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 08, 2022
  • Unfortunately, this is not possible in the UK. It isn’t a decision made by the schools. The British Council regulations do not allow schools to place students under the age of 16 in adult courses. Even if the student will nearly be 16 years old, we can't accept him. The minimum required age for adult courses is 16-18 years in the UK.
    Nela Hima , from Eurocentres, UK - Feb 15, 2022
  • A General English course combined with the IELTS Academic preparation fits perfectly for your son. It is relevant which proof of English he has to show for the Master in UK. This information should be found in the acceptance regulations of the respective universities. The IELTS certificate is for academic purposes and is mostly required prior to admission to higher education in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. In any case, this course will help you son to improve his English for his academic goals.
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.net - Oct 29, 2021
  • Age is not a problem! Schools accept students from all adult age groups. This means that you will be with other international students and some will be older and others younger than you. The groups are classified according to the level of knowledge of the language. To give you an idea: the average age throughout the year is about 25-30 years and it drops to 20-25 during the summer months.



    If, for whatever reason, you prefer to book a course intended only for older students (aged 50+), there are some schools that offer this option.



    The 50+ courses are often a combination of lessons, sightseeing, special activities and meeting people of the same age group. These courses are the perfect place to make new friends while learning a new language or refreshing what you learned long ago.



    In general, these courses are usually offered in the early or late season and last one to two weeks. Start dates vary, so start planning ahead of time. If you let us know where you want to travel, we can send you the options.

FAQ about schools in England UK

  • The requirement for a visa depends on the length of the stay in the UK. At the moment in which we are writing, nationals from Italy do not require a visa to study short-term courses up to 180 days. Documentation regarding the purpose of the visit must be shown at the border in order to enter the country. For Study purposes: letter of enrollment from school, accommodation arrangements and proof of payments to the relevant institutions.
    Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 07, 2024
  • For homestay accommodations, it is possible to extend your enrolment after 4 weeks, but we cannot guarantee that you will be able to stay in the same accommodation.

    Mindlere Shin, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 16, 2023
  • Yes, it is possible. Moreover, many schools offer special courses for those over 50. As a rule, such programmes include not only English lessons, but also an interesting cultural programme with excursions or hobby classes, for example, English with cooking, English with floristry and much more.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023
  • Yes, it is always possible to extend the duration of the course, however we always recommend that you check at least 3-5 days before the end date of the course as sometimes, depending on the level or period, there may not even be places available.
    Antonio Zoppo, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 03, 2023
  • The level required by the majority of schools to access the First preparation course is usually B2, however there are some schools that may also accept B1. The duration they recommend is at least 6-8 weeks, the best option being a course of at least 12 weeks. Please bear in mind, however, that this is a specialised course and may have compulsory durations and/or fixed dates, so we recommend that you send your application well in advance.
    Antonio Zoppo, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 09, 2023
  • In Gibraltar the 50+ programme is offered at the teacher's home, which also includes extra activities and is available with 10,15 and 20 lessons per week. Unlike group courses, this programme provides total immersion in the language, ensuring much faster learning, and avoiding the inevitable distractions that can sometimes occur in standard group courses.
    Antonio Zoppo, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 11, 2022
  • If you take an English course, at the end of it you will obtain a diploma showing your level of the language, but it is not an official degree. If what you are looking for is to obtain an official degree from the University of Cambridge, IELTS or similar, you must take an official exam.
    Rubén De Haro, from LanguageCourse.net - Mar 23, 2022
  • No, neither we as an agency nor the schools are in charge of organizing the flights for our students.

    We do recommend to our students not to book the flights though until the registration has been fully confirmed.

    Although we do not take care of the flights, our students can book the airport pick-up. You can request it directly on our registration form or at a later date, providing your arrival details and ensuring that you give enough advance notice for the school to organise your pick-up in time.
    Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.net - Feb 17, 2022
  • It won't be a problem. If you book with us you can change your course, or starting dates free of charge up to 10 days before the start of the course. We will take care of the change fees that the schools would normally apply.



    For accommodation we can nearly always have the change fees waived for you. Contrary to other booking platforms we will never charge a change fee to a client from our side.
    Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.net - Nov 22, 2021
  • Age is not a problem! Schools accept students from all adult age groups. This means that you will be with other international students, some may be older and some younger. Groups are organized based on level, not age. During high season, if there is more than one group of the same level, age will also be taken into account. To give you an idea, the average age throughout the year is around 25-30, and drops to 20-25 in the summer months.

    If, for whatever reason, you prefer to book a course that is intended for mature students (50+ years of age), there are some schools that offer this possibility. These courses are specially designed for more mature participants of 50 years and older. Naturally, all our adult courses are open to this age group. However some may prefer to opt for the category 50+ where you will find both, courses with students of your own age (normally 50-69 years) and a specific programme with cultural and culinary activities. Please note that these programmes usually have special starting dates and a fixed course duration.

    Language study coincides with sightseeing, special activities and meeting new people from the same age bracket. 50+ courses are a great place to make new friends while learning a new language, or brushing up on an old one. Generally these courses are offered mostly in the Spring or Autumn and are one to two weeks in length. Start dates vary so be sure to plan in advance.
    Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Catalan from LanguageCourse.net - Oct 13, 2021
  • In the UK, I can recommend to you the senior programme offered by Inlingua in Cheltenham. The English 50+: Gardens and Tours / British Culture and Customs run on specific dates and it's not available year-round. The course includes homestay accommodation.
    The programme is uniquely designed for mature students. The English lessons take place in the morning where students will talk about the afternoon trip: they will go through the vocabulary, sentences, and expressions that they are likely to encounter. Social activities include trips to gardens, Cotswolds Villages, cathedrals, river cruises, etc.
