If you are a ‘visa national’ (that requires a visa to travel to the UK) then you must apply for a Standard Visitor Visa or a Short-term Study Visa in advance from outside of the UK (We will provide you with the relevant visa support letter).

If you are a ‘non-visa national’ (e.g. citizens of the EU, USA, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau etc. are non-visa nationals), then a visa is not required for travel to the UK for up to 6 months study and can get a Standard Visitor Visa on arrival.

• You may still need to demonstrate you have been accepted to study at an accredited institution in the UK to be issued a visa on arrival in the UK
• We will provide you with a visa support letter for this purpose

If you are a ‘non-visa national’ coming to study English language for between 6 to 11 months, then you must apply online for a Short-term Study Visa in advance from outside of the UK (We will provide you with a visa support letter for this purpose.)

You can apply for a full-time Level 3 to Level 6 course (must hold a relevant qualification to meet the level) and an English Course at a B1 level and above.

If applying from a non-English speaking country you are required to provide a UKVI Approved academic (SELT) valid within 2 years.

If you are outside of the UK

You can only take a SELT with one of the following providers:

• PSI Services (UK) Ltd – Skills for English (UKVI)

Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) is an electronic virtual document which is provided to you by the college which is needed when applying for your Student Route Visa.

You must meet the 70 Points in order to obtain a CAS.

• 50 Points for Confirmation of Acceptance for studies, this shows you have met course requirement, approved qualification requirement, level of study and place of study requirement.

A CAS is not a paper document and will be given via email. Please note it is your responsibility to check your CAS statement to ensure all the information it contains is accurate. As a Student Route Visa Sponsor we are only able to issue you a CAS if you meet all the requirements stated above and we are satisfied that you will successfully obtain a visa.

You must keep the CAS safe and secure as it contains your personal data.

For a Standard Visitor Visa or Short-term Study Visa a CAS is not required but for a Student Route Visa a CAS is required and certain conditions must be met. For requirements please see our How to Apply page.
