"My experience at the school was positive."

alba Stefanelli, student from Italy

The class into which I had been inserted had already started the course at the beginning, so it was not easy, but my teacher was very good because she understood my difficulties and was willing to help. The classes were as welcoming as the entire staff of the school, I found myself very please. I think I will be attending a new course in October, but contact the school (without an intermediary) to ask which is better.

"Great School, Excellent Teachers, Fantastic Experience"

Stefano Giannascoli

I've been very lucky in finding the Elegant International School of English.

The classes are not crowded and that is absolutely crucial in order for students to pay attention and follow the teachers.

I had the chance to meet three different teachers and they had been fantastic teachers, always concerned about my progress and willing to help.

I attended a course in English at the Elegant International School of English situated in Battersea. Very easy to find.

I strongly recommend studying English at Elegant International College.

"I think that this school is great"

Ewa Czerwińska, student from Poland

my personal experience in detail bout this school :)
I really think that school is great. Teachers were very good. It was a lot of practical classes and grammatical exercises and the biggest advantage is that the school teaches foreigners what is very helpful. Classes are small and very well equipped.
Elegant International College is far away from the city center but can be reached by metro or bus.

visa

Visa support

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 EIC. 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. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 20 when you register.

When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.

Ask a question

"I have a prospective student from UK who would like to study at Elegant International College. Would it be possible if your school can accept the student to this course even his English proficiency is only in pre-intermediate level."

It is possible for the student to do the course; however, the student must be aware that we recommend that students also follow general English at the same time when they are at this low of a level. This is not a requirement though. It will depend on what score the student needs, why they are taking the test, and how quickly they need to improve. For example, if it is simply to get a taste of the IELTS exam and the student is not expecting a high score at this level and with this short of a study period, then it would be fine. We do not like to set unrealistic expectations and have students waste time or money basically.

"If I just calculate the third week for each session, will I have to double check availability with you or is it more or less likely my student will be able to study for the 3rd and 4th week?"

Dyan Test, student from USA
Rattanaporn Pimsuwan, Patong Language School school representative

We only have a Beginner course running when a student enrolls to start from week 1. For the course starting November 10, we already have several students booked to take all 4 weeks, so it would be possible for your student to join that course for weeks 3 & 4. So far we don't yet have any enrolments for Beginner courses on later dates (December etc), so you will need to confirm closer to the time whether or not the course will be running.
