Which visa do I need?
In general, it depends on how long you study. The rules are set by UK Visas and Immigration, so always check the official GOV.UK guidance before you apply.
- 12 weeks to 6 months: a Standard Visitor visa. Some nationalities do not need a visa for this and apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) instead.
- More than 6 months, up to 11 months: a Short-term study visa for English language courses.
- Degree or longer courses: a Student visa, which needs a licensed sponsor. We are not a Student visa sponsor and cannot issue a CAS.
Our letters support Standard Visitor and Short-term study visa applications. See our Pre-Arrival Information for what to prepare before you travel.
What you will receive
- Letter of Acceptance — confirming your place, your course dates, and exactly what you have paid and what remains outstanding

Visa and payment questions
Which route should I choose?
Route 1 costs more upfront, but almost everything is refunded if your visa is refused. Route 2 costs much less upfront, but the visa fee is not refunded.
Is the Route 2 visa fee refundable?
No. It is non-refundable, even if your visa is refused or you change your mind. Once your visa is granted, it is taken off your course fees. If your first application is refused, you can apply once more without paying it again.
What do I need to get a refund on Route 1?
A copy of the official refusal letter from UK Visas and Immigration. We refund all fees except the £120 administration fee (and the accommodation administration fee of £60 per 12 weeks, if booked). Bank charges are paid by the student.
Will this guarantee my visa?
No. No school can guarantee a visa, and you should be cautious of any that suggests otherwise. We provide accurate documents; the decision is made entirely by UK Visas and Immigration.
How long does visa processing take?
Allow 3 to 8 weeks. Timing varies by country and season.
What does the letter say about payment?
Exactly what you have paid: your total fees, what we have received, and the balance still to pay. We never describe a payment as made when it has not been.
Can I book 18 or 30 weeks?
Route 2 is only for courses of 12, 24 or 36 weeks. For other lengths, choose Route 1 or contact us.
What about courses under 12 weeks?
This page is for courses of 12 weeks or more. Contact us and we will help you find the right option.
Do I have to book accommodation through you?
No. It is optional. We work with trusted providers, but you are free to arrange your own.
Can you advise me on my visa application?
No. We are a language school, not immigration advisers. Please use the official GOV.UK guidance or a qualified adviser.
