Language travel agencies who wish to join English UK’s Partner Agency Scheme will find it easier to do so now that a specialist online briefing course has gone live, the association has announced. Language travel agencies who wish to join English UK’s Partner Agency Scheme will find it easier to do so now that a specialist online briefing course has gone live, the association has announced.
Until now interested agencies had to attend a seminar, run by English UK staff, which covered the benefits of studying in the UK, explained visa issues and gave more information about the scheme. This delayed or prevented many eligible agencies from joining the scheme if English UK staff had not visited their area.
“We know it’s been frustrating for many agencies who were keen to join the scheme and met all the other criteria," said Jodie Gray, English UK’s senior international manager. “We’re delighted that our interactive briefing course has now gone live. It should mean that many more of the world’s leading agencies can join our scheme and enjoy the benefits of working more closely with English UK and our members.”
The online briefing course covers the work of English UK, the benefits of studying in the UK, and includes a full and clear explanation of the different types of visa available to students. Prospective partner agencies must also complete other parts of the application process, which includes getting good references from five English UK member centres. To date, 76 agencies from all over the world have joined the scheme.
