ENROLMENT PROCEDURE
- Complete the enrolment form and send it to the school or give it to your local representative together with the deposit of £250.00.
- EU, Swiss, Norwegian, Icelandic and students from Liechtenstein do not need a visa. Other students may need a General Student Visa (GSV) or a Student Visitor Visa (SVV). To find out more about visas, click here.
- When we receive your deposit we will send you a Certificate of Registration and an invoice. If you need a General Student Visa, you will also need to complete the ELC Bristol GSV sponsorship application form.
- If you do not need a visa or if you require a Student Visitor Visa, the balance of your fees is payable 2 weeks before your course begins.
- If you require a General Student Visa, you will need to pay the tuition fees in full before the school can issue you with the Confirmation of Studies (CAS) which you need when you apply for the visa.
- Accommodation details are normally sent 2 weeks before your course starts.
- Once you have enrolled, changes to bookings are subject to a £15.00 administration fee.
- If you postpone your course for any reason, for example, if you are waiting for your visa and have to delay the original course starting, you must let us know 2 weeks before the course starting date, otherwise you will lose your £250.00 deposit and will have to pay another deposit before we can confirm a new starting date.
- You should arrive in Bristol on the Sunday before your course begins and leave on the Saturday after your course finishes.
- Extra nights’ accommodation: £20.00 per night.
- Please contact your accommodation provider one week before you come to let them know your arrival time. This is very important as they would like to be at home when you arrive!
