"A fiendly small school, very good for people interested in digital marketing arguments"

Diego Conte

Bournemouth is a wonderful city and the location of the school is so good: in the middle of town centre. The teachers - general English and digital marketing - are so good, friendly and competent.
My home family was good, I lived far from the school, but the area was well connected with the public trasportation. There I ate so well.

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 BSMI . 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.
