On arrival you will be required to complete

it with course fees to the Practice Development
Unit. Registration on a study days or conferences
that are not selected as a component of a pathway
can be done as necessary, preferably within 30 days

Immigration Regulations
When you apply for any form of entry clearance you
need to prove that you meet the requirements of the
UK immigration regulations. In addition to your
passport you will need:
A letter of confirmation from the Practice
Development Unit - this confirms that you have been
accepted on a full-time scheme and which will be
sent to you automatically by us.
A letter from the Practice Development Unit -
stating the full cost of the course and what
arrangements are acceptable for payment.
Evidence of financial support - to prove that you
are able to support yourself and your family if they
are with you. For example:
If someone else is paying for you to study, a letter
from them confirming what their connection is to
you, how much they are going to give you, how often,
for how long and from where that money is going to
come from. You will also need evidence that they
will be able to fulfil their promise, i.e. their
bank statements or wage slips or a letter from their
employer;
If you are going to pay for your studies through
your own savings, original bank statements covering
at least the last three months will need to be made
available.
Evidence of accommodation - although the Immigration
Rules do not require unaccompanied students to show
that accommodation has been arranged, it should be
brought to the attention of the Entry Clearance
Officer where you intend to live. The Practice
Development Unit will supply you with details of
accommodation on arrival. If your family are coming
with you, you will need to show that there will be
adequate accommodation for them.
If you can produce these documents you should be
given a visa/entry certificate and leave to enter
sticker. The sticker will show the length of time
you have been given permission to stay in the UK and
any restrictions there may be with regard to
employment. You should check it straight away and
raise any queries asking for it to be changed if
necessary. You may not be granted leave to enter for
the duration of your course and therefore, whilst at
University, you will have to extend your leave one
month before your current leave expires.
On arrival in the UK your passport and entry
clearance will be checked along with your documents,
and you will then have a date stamp placed in your
passport. Your leave to enter the UK will begin from
that date and expire on the ‘valid until’ date
stated on your entry clearance sticker in your
passport.
UK immigration officers at the point of entry will
ask students if they have the funds to pay fees and
support themselves. They may refuse entry if they
believe this will not be possible. You should either
bring with you funds for the year's fees and some
months' allowances or be able to show proof that the
money is or will be available to you in the UK.
Please remember also that your conditions of stay in
this country are that you will be purely
self-financing and there should be no recourse to
public funds.
Entry Clearance
Unless you come from a country, which is a member of
the European Union or the European Economic Area,
you will need some form of entry clearance issued by
a British Embassy or High Commission in the country
of your nationality, or the country in which you are
living. This will be either a visa, which is
compulsory for visa nationals, or an entry
certificate, which is optional but recommended for
non-visa nationals. You should check with the
British Embassy or High Commission in your own
country to find out which entry clearance you
require and obtain it before you travel. Without the
appropriate entry clearance, you may be refused
entry into the UK. Immigration rules and regulations
change regularly so you should not rely on advice
from other sources.
If you are already in the UK on a visitors' visa,
before applying to the Home Office for a student
visa you must seek immigration advice. The rules are
very strict and if you are a visa-national you
cannot 'switch' your status in country. If you apply
you will more than likely be refused leave to remain
and will have to leave the UK.
If you have access to the Internet, you can find out
if you need pre-entry clearance and the contact
details for your nearest British Embassy or High
Commission by visiting:
www.ukvisas.gov.uk
Non EEA Students
From the 13 November 2005, all nationals from non
EEA member states who wish to come to the UK for
more than six months will need to obtain an entry
clearance from a British diplomatic mission before
travelling.
Health certificates - may be required to prove that
you have had certain inoculations, vaccinations, or
x-rays, depending on which country you are coming
from. You should check these requirements with the
British Embassy or High Commission in your country
Overseas TB screening programme
From the end of the summer 2005, if you are from
Bangladesh, Thailand (which also processes entry
clearance applications from Cambodia and Laos),
Tanzania and Sudan you will have to be screened for
TB as part of they entry clearance procedure. This
programme will be rolled out to other specific
countries in due course.
Recommended Living Allowances
As well as
course fees, students will need to have enough money
for accommodation, food, study materials, clothing,
holidays etc. At the moment, we recommend a minimum
of £550 per month or £6,600 per year. This must be
added to the course fee each year. Again, increases
in the cost of living in the UK will need to be
reflected in higher student allowances for
subsequent years. Students arriving for the first
time are advised to bring with them approximately
£500 in cash or travellers cheques to enable them to
pay any initial expenses, such as food, etc.
following which they will need access to a monthly
allowance .
Employment
It is possible to obtain part-time and vacation
work, but no student should rely on getting extra
financial support from work. Students must be sure
of having enough money for fees and allowances for
the entire length of their stay.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees are as seen in the prospectus and
should be paid in full prior to attendance. For
students attending the Pre Adaptation Programme
Tuition fees quoted are per year for entrants in the
2008/2009 and will remain the same for the normal
duration of your course. If you have to extend your
studies beyond the normal duration of the course the
Practice Development Unit reserves the right to
charge you fees at a higher rate during the
additional period of study.
Attendance
Attendance records will be kept. Students are
expected to attend no less than 80% of the teaching
sessions. Unauthorized absence will not be
tolerated. Any absence for whatever reason will need to
be reported to the administrative staff on the first day
of absence. If a student is absent from studies
without permission for more than 10 working days a
report will be forwarded to the Home Office.
Additionally, the Home Office will be informed,
within 10 working days, if a student’s enrolment is
terminated; they resign or are dismissed from the
placement area Details of the new institution or
employers will be forwarded to the Home Office.
Assessment and Awards
The Practice Development Unit will issue Awards to
students who have successfully completed each programme
of learning. Portfolio development will be
encouraged and assessed on a pass or fail basis.
Students following individual awards offered by
partner agencies will be accredited based on
assessment outcomes.
Financial Help
The Practice Development Unit does not offer
scholarships or financial support in any way to
international students. Nor should students expect
to obtain a grant for their studies from the British
Government. Sources of financial help within the UK
are very limited.
Non Attendance at Classes
Students who wishe or are asked to leave the
Practice Development Unit at any time during the
study period shall complete and file the official
withdrawal form and submit it to the Director. The
Home Office will be informed of their withdrawal.
On enrolment all student will have copies of,
passport, visa status, photo ID, Professional
Qualification and other documents such as police
checks and medical status stored securely in our
offices for references purposes
Non Arrival in the UK
In instances where students do not arrive, contact
will be made with the referring agency to establish
reasons for non arrival. When the reason for non
arrival cannot be establish, the Home Office will be
informed within 10 working days.
Quality mechanism
The Practice Development Unit works in collaboration
with BLAY William Training in the delivery of its
programmes. Regular meetings will be held with
tutors to evaluate education provisions. Programmes
of learning will be evaluated and changes made based
on these feed back, Guidance from accredited
intuitions will be adhered. Student involvement will
be encourage and matters of concern will be followed
up swiftly by staff and management
In addition:
If you are a UK national you must have a right to be
treated no less favourably than a national of
another Member State because you have exercised a
Community right of free movement, e.g. you must have
worked or studied in one or more countries in the
European Economic Area, other than the UK
If you are of any EU nationality and your only or
main reason for being in the UK and Islands was to
receive full time education, you must have been
