Our concept is “Immersion in English at all times.” This means that the students have to speak English at all times, during classes, but also during meals, activities. Each student has 32 lessons (45 minutes each) a week. Every weekday, (with the exception of the academic excursion) will consist of 8 x 45 minute lessons:
LEARNING & ACQUIRING
In the morning (Learning) we teach English through EFL (English as a Foreign Language) lessons based on small groups of 7 students from the same age and same level (max. 10).
And in the afternoon (Acquiring), we teach skills in English, again in small groups of 7 students (max 10) from the same age and same level.
So two different approaches which combine very well and allow our students to LEARN English and ACQUIRE skills in English!

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 QW. 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.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Hatfield based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
