Terms and Conditions

How To Enrol

To enrol on a full time ELTC course, please send us:

• a completed application form
• a photocopy of the identity page of your passport
• evidence of your current level of English

Deposits are not required but evidence of funds or sponsorship will be required when applying for a visa.

The last date for receipt of applications is usually four weeks before the start of the course.
If you need a visa, please allow enough time for your visa application.

Payment

You must pay your fees before or during the first week of your course.
Please note that if you do not pay by this time, you will not be allowed to continue your studies.
You may pay by:

• credit card
• cheque/bankers draft
• bank transfer
• travellers’ cheques

We strongly advise you NOT to carry large quantities of cash, (though you will need some cash when you first arrive in the UK.)

Sponsored students

• If your fees will be paid by your sponsor then you must present a letter of financial guarantee
• Acceptable sponsors include universities, government agencies, charitable organisations and registered international companies
• The guarantee may be verified with your sponsor before we confirm your enrolment
• ELTC reserves the right to refuse financial guarantees
• Some students need a further letter from their embassy in London after they arrive in England and before they begin their studies. Check with ELTC if you are not sure about this. You may not be able to start your course at ELTC until we have received this letter.
  

Group students

If you are participating in a course as a member of a group, payment arrangements will be made through your group organiser.

Agency students

If you were introduced to ELTC by an agency, please include details on the application form.

Cancellations and changes to enrolments

You may cancel your enrolment before the start of your course. Course fees which have been paid in advance will be refunded but the following deductions will be made:

• any visa charges incurred
• any bank charges incurred
• any fee or commission already paid
• an administration fee of £50

You must take up your place on time if possible. The latest possible start date is two weeks after the date on your offer letter.
If you arrive late you must pay for the weeks you have missed.

Please note that if you leave early or take an unbooked break from your studies, you risk losing the money you have paid. Fees will only be refunded in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Director.

We are obliged to report any changes or cancellations to the UK Border Agency (UKBA).

Insurance

We strongly advise you to take out insurance, which should include your health, your possessions
and cancellation cover in case you have to cancel your course or leave early.

Public Holidays

Classes are not held on public holidays and ELTC is closed on those days. Please note that there are no fee reductions for course weeks which include a public holiday.
