Course description

We can help you aged between 8 – 21 years old with exams and all studies for Cambridge English exam qualifications, such as First or Advanced Certificate, and IELTS. Our students usually get very good results. Our courses are from just a few hours each week, day or evening, to very intensive, 15 hours and more and on a one-to-one basis.

We have been teaching International Students for over 12 years in Royal Tunbridge Wells and we help International students with English skills for their studies, entrance to schools, colleges and universities. We also provide some basic work experience for younger students to help them practice in a real working environment. We can give you English conversation, written, reading, listening and communication English that will help you prepare for your English exams and entry to formal education institutions and training programmes.

We also provide activities for all international students after school times usually during the afternoons. These activities are usually free and include many English sports like: bowling, cricket, football, swimming, tennis, croquet, golf and horse riding. We also provide local visits to country parks and castles in the local vicinity of Royal Tunbridge Wells and across the province of West Kent. Such visits may also include day-trips to London, Canterbury, Hastings beach, Brighton and Oxford.

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 Spa English. 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.
