Before you come
Visa Requirements
Before you can start to study English
at a Quality English school in the UK, (whether you are a teacher, consultant
or a student), you must comply with UK immigration rules. Check with your
local British Embassy, British High Commission or British Consulate for the
latest conditions. Apart from nationals of the European Union (EU) or European
Economic Area (EEA), all international visitors and students should obtain
some form of entry clearance.
If you need entry clearance, book your course well in advance to give yourself
enough time to obtain it.

Health & travel insurance
Quality English advises all students
coming to learn English to have comprehensive travel, repatriation, medical
and course insurance.
We recommend you take out insurance with Course-u-can.com.
Medical treatment is free for EU nationals except for the cost of prescriptions.
Other nationals are not covered by the UK's national health insurance scheme,
unless they are covered by a reciprocal health care agreement or are enrolled
on a course of six months' duration or longer. Dental treatment is never free.
Emergency and accident treatment is only free for the first 48 hours of treatment.
Accommodation
Casa Swap is an international home-exchange network for students and youth. The benefits of exchanging homes are obvious: you stay in another members home for free, while that member stays in your home - thereby saving tons of money otherwise spent on expensive hotels and hostels!
