INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

Beauty London School is accredited by Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC) which is an independent body providing accreditation services for independent, further and higher education colleges.

 ASIC accreditation helps students and parents make a more informed choice and will also help a school, college, university, training provider or distance education provider, demonstrate to the international student body that they are a high quality institution.”

In light of Brexit changes the Short Term Study visa no longer exists, instead this has been replaced with an updated Standard Visitor visa. Please note we can no longer accept students on a Short Term Study visa or a Student visa (formally Tier 4 visa).

BOOKING PROCESS

If you are interested in one of our courses please check in advance that we accept International students on a Standard Visitor visa onto that particular course, this information will be found on the Entry Requirements tab on the course page.

All International students must have a telephone interview so that we can access your level of English before you can book on.

International students will be required to pay 25% deposit to book and hold your place on the course. The School will then send to you your enrolment letter and invoice to prove you are booked on to the course, you will need this documentation for your visa application.
