Why Educational Consultants are in the Market & why are they successful?
Why Educational Consultants are in the Market & why are they successful?
Here are five reasons why hiring an educational consultant to work with your student's higher study might be the best investment you ever made:
1. Educational consultants understand the college admissions process and visit colleges and universities regularly to discover what makes one school different from another. They meet with college admissions officers at each school so they know about the continuous changes that take place on individual campuses.
2. They help your student find colleges that are a good fit, not just a big name. They want your student to be successful in the college admissions process and to have a variety of schools from which to choose. They help families separate the hype from the facts.
3. Educational consultants are able to work successfully with your student because they do not have the emotional investment that parents do. They provide reliable college information and objective advice. They give your family another opinion and try to make the college admissions process as stress-free as possible.
4. They know that applying to college and college admissions can be a time for students to discover themselves. This helps them with the college search and encourages students to make better college decisions.
5. Educational consultants assist students with their applications and essays. They brainstorm topics that will enable your student to write the most compelling essays that will strengthen their applications.

Student Visitor Visa – what is it?
Student Visitor Visa – what is it?
The Student Visitor Visa (SVV) is for students taking a short course of study in the UK for six months or less. As the name suggests, it falls under the visitor visa category rather than the main student visa category (Tier 4). Like a visit visa, the SVV does not allow students to undertake any employment or bring dependants.
Under 18s/Over 18s
The SVV is only available to students over 18. Students under 18 wishing to come to the UK to undertake a course of study will have to apply as a general visitor.
How to Apply?
Students applying for a SVV need to use VAF1D. Under 18s have to use VAF1A.
In some countries students can also apply on-line.
Cost
The cost of a SVV is currently £70.
Extended Student Visitor Visa
In December 2010 Damian Green, the Immigration Minister, announced a new Extended Student Visitor Visa (ESVV) for English language students.
The ESVV will only be available to students who want to study an English language course for between six and eleven months. The visa will be valid for 11 months. Students enrolling on other courses or English Plus courses will not qualify for the ESVV.
Students will need to show that their course is longer than 6 months. The ESVV will cost £70 and will be available to students applying from 10 January 2011.
How much will the Extended Student Visitor visa cost?
The cost for an Extended Student Visitor visa is the same as the cost for a 6 month Student Visitor visa, £70.
Who can apply for the Extended Student Visitor visa?
Students of all nationalities (including non-visa nationals) who are planning to come to the UK to study an English language course between 6 and 11 months long.
What courses can be studied under the Extended Student Visitor visa?
Courses which only teach English as a foreign language. Mixed courses with a portion of time spent learning English will not qualify.
What level of English language course will this extended student visitor visa apply to?
Students can study English language courses at any level.
What do you define as an ‘English language course only’?
Where 100% of the syllabus and teaching is English language.
Is this a replacement for the current 6 month Student Visitor route?
No. The Student Visitor route will remain in place. This is a concession to allow those coming to study English language courses only to be able to study on courses for longer than 6 months and no more than 11 months.
How much leave will I be given if I am studying for longer than 6 months?
You will be granted leave for 11 months.
Can I still study non-English language courses if I come to the UK as a 6 month student visitor?
Yes. The requirements for the 6 month Student Visitor route remain the same.
Which visa application form do I use to apply?
You must use the application form VAF 1D, which is available on the Visa Services website.
How do I make an online application?
Online applications for the extended student visitor visa will only be available from 10 January 2011. After accessing Visa4UK via the Visa Services website and entering your email and password details you will be taken to the ‘Your Visa Requirements’ screen.
You will then need to:
select your ‘Current Location’ and ‘Country of Nationality’
select “Visit” for the ‘Purpose of Application’
select “(General) Student visitor, to study English Language”
You will then be taken through the appropriate Visit VAF 1 to complete the remaining information for your application.
Where can I find more information on what evidence I need to provide if I wish to apply for an Extended Student Visitor visa?
Further information about applying for an Extended Student Visitor visa can be found at
www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas
Can I transfer to another course within the time I am studying?
Yes. You may move to another English language course e.g. if you progress faster than expected, provided you do not stay in the UK for longer than your visa states. You must not move onto a course of study in any subject other than English language.
Can I transfer to an English language course offered by another education provider during the time I am studying?
Yes, provided the other English language school provider holds a Tier 4 sponsor licence or is accredited by a UK Border Agency-approved accreditation body, and is prepared to enrol you onto their course.
Can I transfer to another type of course once my course is completed?
No. The Extended Student Visitor visa does not allow students to transfer to another UK course once they have completed their English language course. If you wish to continue studying in the UK you will need to return to your home country and re-apply under the correct route.
Can I work while I am studying under an Extended Student Visitor visa?
No. You cannot take up any employment if you are here on any type of student visitor visa.
Can I bring my dependants to the UK while I am studying on an Extended Student Visitor visa?
No. The Extended Student Visitor visa does not allow you to bring your dependants to the UK. If you wish your dependants to accompany you, they must apply for a visa in their own right.
I don’t need a visa to attend a course up to six months. Will I need to apply for a visa if I want to stay longer?
Yes.
Will there be an appeals process for students whose applications for an Extended
Student Visitor visa are refused?
No. The appeal rights are the same as the Student Visitor route and will not attract a full right of appeal.
I am a non-visa national currently in the UK as a student visitor studying English language with 6 months leave to remain. Can I apply for an extension (or the Extended Student Visitor visa) in the UK before my 6 month leave expires?
No, you cannot extend a student visitor visa and you can only apply for the Extended Student Visitor visa outside of the UK.

New system for international students that might operate in future – shortly after 31 January 2011. BE PREPARED!!!
New system for international students that might operate in future – shortly after 31 January 2011. BE PREPARED!!!
It is no longer news that the UK government intends to reduce annual net migration to the UK to sustainable levels, in the tens of thousands a year. Now, it expects the student route to make its contribution towards reducing net migration to the UK. The government’s policy aim is to ensure that only genuine students who are committed to their academic study come to the UK, with a presumption that upon completion they will leave promptly. UKBA has now set out consultation sets out their proposals for achieving this aim.
The consultation is now seeking your views. DO NOT HESITATE!
IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF EVERY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TO RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO PUT THEIR VIEWS ACROSS THROUGH THE CONSULTATION BEFORE IT CLOSES.
This consultation will run until 31 January 2011. UKBA intend to announce their response and final decisions as soon as possible thereafter.
Below is the summary of UKBA’s proposals for the new system for international students:
1. RAISING THE LEVEL OF COURSES STUDENTS CAN STUDY:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Restrict Tier 4 largely to degree-level courses and child students.
Only Highly Trusted Sponsors will be permitted to offer courses below degree level to adults (i.e. NQF 3, 4 and 5 / SCQF 6, 7 and 8).
Lower level courses of under six months’ duration will continue to be offered outside the PBS, through the student visitor route.
• They propose no tightening of the Tier 4 (Child) route; this is a relatively small part of the Tier 4 composition and one which poses UKBA least risk
Summary:
* NQF 3, 4 & 5 – Highly Trusted Sponsor only
* NQF 6 (Degree Level and above) courses + – any sponsor (A or B rating)
2. INTRODUCING TOUGHTER ENTRY CRITERIA FOR STUDENTS:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Raise the Tier 4 language bar as a key indicator of fitness to complete a higher level course.
All Tier 4 (General) applicants including degree level and English language students will be subject to a secure English language test showing competence at level B2.
Summary: All courses levels: SELT required, minimum B2 level
3. ENSURING STUDENTS RETURN OVERSEAS AFTER THEIR COURSE:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Students wanting to remain in the UK after their initial course to extend their studies will have to show clear evidence of academic progression to a higher level.
They are also considering whether such students should be required to leave the UK and re-apply from overseas.
* They propose to close the Tier 1 Post Study Work route .
Summary:
* Students must return home and apply for entry overseas.
* Students must demonstrate intention to study at a higher level on return.
* Tier 1 Post Study Work closed.
* Graduates with a job offer can apply under Tier 2 – The consultation says ‘UKBA have recently facilitated this process by allowing employers to not carry out the Tier 2 Resident Labour Market Test in respect of foreign graduates recruited in the UK through the milkround. This will continue.’ My question is how true is this statement? Please comment.
Excerpts from the consultation on Tier 1 Post-Study Work:
UKBA says the student route is a temporary migration route, with students expected to leave on completion of their studies.
UKBA says they are concerned that the Post Study Work route confuses this concept.
UKBA says The Higher Education Careers Services Unit published their annual report in November 2010 which showed that graduate unemployment has risen to its highest level for 17 years and they concluded that there is a risk that the Post Study Work route is adding to this problem.
UKBA believe that a student’s primary motivation for coming to the UK should be the prospect of obtaining a world class education here, not of being able to work afterwards.
Following from all of the above UKBA therefore propose to close the Tier 1 Post Study Work route.
4. LIMITING THE ENTITLEMENTS OF STUDENTS TO WORK AND TO SPONSOR DEPENDANTS:-
UKBA’s proposal – 4 changes proposed as below:
• Students should only be allowed to work on campus during the week and for any external employer at weekends and during vacation periods.
• Where a course includes a work placement, raise the minimum ratio of study to work placement from 50:50 to 66:33 so that these types of courses become less attractive to people using them as a way to gain access to the UK employment market.
• Remove permission to work for all dependants of Tier 4 students, except where they qualify in their own right under Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the PBS.
• Only those Tier 4 students studying for more than 12 months to be allowed to bring their dependants to the UK.
Summary:
Tier 4 (General) All course levels:
* On-campus working only during the week
* Any employment at weekends and during vacation
* Study to work placement ratio – 66:33
Tier 4 (Dependants) All course levels:
* Course less than 12 months long – no dependants
* Course longer than 12 months – dependants allowed but no permission to work (unless qualify under Tier 1 or Tier 2
5. SIMPLER PROCEDURES FOR CHECKING LOW-RISK APPLICATIONS:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Impose different requirements as regards evidence of maintenance and previous qualifications in order to lighten the burden on lower risk students.
Summary:
* Lower risk students can self-declare that they can meet the maintenance requirement & hold specified qualifications.
* Higher risk students must provide original documents as now to demonstrate maintenance & previous qualifications.
* Proposal to differentiate according to sponsor rating i.e Highly Trusted Sponsor Vs A or B rating sponsor.
6. STRICTER ACCREDITATION PROCEDURES FOR EDUCATION PROVIDERS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Tighten the accreditation regime, working with departments responsible for education across the UK to ensure the quality of education provision within private institutions of further and higher education for Tier 4 purposes.
Summary:
* UK Border Agency and UK education departments to ensure quality of education provision within private institutions of further and higher education.

UKBA says The Higher Education Careers Services Unit published their annual report in November 2010 which showed that graduate unemployment has risen to its highest level for 17 years and they concluded that there is a risk that the Post Study Work route is adding to this problem.
UKBA believe that a student’s primary motivation for coming to the UK should be the prospect of obtaining a world class education here, not of being able to work afterwards.
Following from all of the above UKBA therefore propose to close the Tier 1 Post Study Work route.
4. LIMITING THE ENTITLEMENTS OF STUDENTS TO WORK AND TO SPONSOR DEPENDANTS:-
UKBA’s proposal – 4 changes proposed as below:
• Students should only be allowed to work on campus during the week and for any external employer at weekends and during vacation periods.
• Where a course includes a work placement, raise the minimum ratio of study to work placement from 50:50 to 66:33 so that these types of courses become less attractive to people using them as a way to gain access to the UK employment market.
• Remove permission to work for all dependants of Tier 4 students, except where they qualify in their own right under Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the PBS.
• Only those Tier 4 students studying for more than 12 months to be allowed to bring their dependants to the UK.
Summary:
Tier 4 (General) All course levels:
* On-campus working only during the week
* Any employment at weekends and during vacation
* Study to work placement ratio – 66:33
Tier 4 (Dependants) All course levels:
* Course less than 12 months long – no dependants
* Course longer than 12 months – dependants allowed but no permission to work (unless qualify under Tier 1 or Tier 2
5. SIMPLER PROCEDURES FOR CHECKING LOW-RISK APPLICATIONS:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Impose different requirements as regards evidence of maintenance and previous qualifications in order to lighten the burden on lower risk students.
Summary:
* Lower risk students can self-declare that they can meet the maintenance requirement & hold specified qualifications.
* Higher risk students must provide original documents as now to demonstrate maintenance & previous qualifications.
* Proposal to differentiate according to sponsor rating i.e Highly Trusted Sponsor Vs A or B rating sponsor.
6. STRICTER ACCREDITATION PROCEDURES FOR EDUCATION PROVIDERS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR:-
UKBA’s proposal:
• Tighten the accreditation regime, working with departments responsible for education across the UK to ensure the quality of education provision within private institutions of further and higher education for Tier 4 purposes.
Summary:
* UK Border Agency and UK education departments to ensure quality of education provision within private institutions of further and higher education.

Our students often ask us for help with their CVs. And in fact, with the recession bringing so much competition to the job market, especially for new graduates, writing a good CV is a must. With some sectors reporting over 400 applications for job, you really need to stand out from the crowd to stand any chance of success. Writing a good CV will land you an interview and hopefully a job. Present any employer with a bad or generalised CV and you condemn it to the shredder! In this tougher world we find ourselves in today, it’s so important to remember these wise words: “the person who gets hired is not necessarily the one who can do the job best; but, the one who knows the most about how to get hired”.
A CV’s job is to get you an interview, not to tell your life story. And there’s no better way to stand out from the crowd than tailoring your CV for the job you’re applying to. Does your CV match any of the tell-tale signs of a generalised CV?
Written with no aim or target. More of a “hello world, enjoy my story?”
First page lacks imapct, CV writing layout is poor, hard to read and too many pages.
Written as a chronological document, starting with your address and detailing every education achievement obtained and past positions held.
You send the same, or closely the same, CV to every job you apply to.
Makes no use of terminology or busswords associated with the position you are applying to.
If this reminds you of your CV, then I recommend this CV writing guide which is full of CV writing tips and advice, CV writing layout help and some useful examples too.

Some of you may find it is quite hard to start looking for part-time jobs when you are international students. I completely understand how you guys feel. Five years ago, I was here to start my post Graduate degree at university in London. I made it and I am about to tell you guys how to find your part-time jobs as you are an international student. It is not easy but you I hope it helps.
Unless your family is very wealthy, most international students expect to work whilst they are studying in the UK. As we have known that the living costs here are very expensive. Part-time jobs are commons among international students. However, Rule is rule—never work more than 20 hours per week. The home office is very strict about it and it is not good if you want to acheive what you come to do ( study) in the UK.

So is pronunciation important then?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 0 Comments
Tags: british english pronunciation, english language pronunciation, learning english pronunciation.
Simply, yes it is important. It is the second most important aspect of learning a foreign language, after vocabulary. Words are important but people need to be able to understand what you are saying. You need to be able to communicate clearly so pronunciation is important.
Having said that, it is important to point out that there is no real write or wrong English pronunciation. Consider the difference is sound between English in America and English in the UK. And of course there are regional dialects too. In fact, even just within London you will find different accents and pronunciations of words. So, don’t let pronunciation stress you out too much. There are people who will try to tell you what they think is correct pronunciation, most notably those who think British English pronunciation is the ‘right way’.

How can I learn enough English words?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 0 Comments
Vocabulary is the single most important aspect of learning any language. It’s no use knowing how to construct complex grammatical sentences if you don’t know enough words to demonstrate your knowledge. Our article how to study English 7 tips and ideas has a great suggestion on how to increase your vocabulary:
5. Start a vocab book
It’s great that you’re learning all these new words but you will of course forget some. So it’s a great idea to start writing down new words you discover in a notebook for yourself. You may like to order it in alphabetical order, include the word’s definition and perhaps write a few examples of how to use the word. This technique, whilst it may seem time consuming, is a really fantastic way to quickly improve your language skills. And eventually, you will have a huge, useful resource that you didn’t have to pay a penny for!
As you start learning new words you should make sure that you use them. This is how you remember the new words you come across. You can even show off your new words in English class and to your friends! It’s great if you keep a notepad with you, then whenever you hear a new word during the day you can make a quick note of it. Then you can go home and do some work learning the new words you picked up.
Should I study English grammar?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 3 Comments
Tags: grammar study, grammer study, study english grammar, why study grammar.
Many people may try and tell you that you don’t need to concentrate too much on grammar. After all, you learnt a language well enough when you were growing up didn’t you? I definitely didn’t use any grammar books when I was 2! However, the point is you’ve grown up now. You’re used to communicating using the rules of your own language, your own grammar, or lack of it in some languages. Also, your brain has changed; a baby’s brain is like a sponge and soaks everything up. Now you’ve grown up and been to too many parties to remember, your brain is not what is used to be.
So you just need to study smarter. I’m of the opinion that grammar is an important building block of language, especially English. If you lay the right foundations you will make much quicker progress in the future. Not only does a grasp of the grammatical rules help you to speak and write better, but it also helps you to learn.

Should I study at a big or small school?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 0 Comments
This is really does come down to personal choice and as you would expect, each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantages aren’t really the right term – it’s just that the size of the school does dictate the type of teaching and contact you will experience.
Big schools do have some obvious advantages, the primary one being that they have more of the important stuff: more courses, more teachers who specialise in different areas, more potential friends for you to make, more facilities…..the list could go on and I’m sure you get the general idea. The reason is obvious: the bigger the school, the more money it has, the more resources it can buy for you to use. It is important to remember that these items aren’t related to the quality of teaching or approachability of the teachers, which are important factors too. You should be cautious of some big schools as the above is not always true. Many big schools like to use the fact they are big to discount their course tuition fees not investing in resources.

Should I learn English in England?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 0 Comments
You don’t have to, but it is a very good idea too, for obvious reasons. If you study in your own country, you will miss out on so many opportunities to practice your English. Outside the classroom you’re likely to talk to friends and family in your own language. More to the point, you won’t have any opportunity to practice your English passively, through reading advertisements in English or listening to English radio, for example. We’ve covered this subject quite well on this blog so have a look at some of our articles for more advice. Finding a good school is very important. In a country such as England, with great tradition and reputation of academic excellence, there are many great English schools for you to choose from.
How long will it take to learn English?
Published on July 23, 2008 in Common Questions. 0 Comments
Again, this a tricky question to answer and is most commonly answered with ‘it depends’. There are many different factors that influence how long it will take you to learn English. Things that can influence how long it takes to learn English include:
What level you currently are
What level you want to achieve
Are you a natural learner?
How motivated are you?
Will you study an intensive programme?
How much time do you spend practicing English?
The above factors aside, the average student studying English can go from Low to Upper Intermediate in around three months. This example would be based on studying for 21 hours per week.
However, quicker progress could be achieved should you be sufficiently motivated. If you were to study on an intensive programme, you could go from Elementary to Advanced in around 6 months.
