EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROVIDERS REGISTER NOW PUBLISHED

EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROVIDERS REGISTER NOW PUBLISHED

From 1 January 2005 all non_EEA nationals who want to study in the UK must study at an educational establishment that is on the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Register of Education and Training Providers. The Register has now been published on the DfES website.

If the educational establishment you plan to study at is not on the Register we will not give you a visa; nor will the Home Office grant leave to enter or remain as a student.



Who does this affect?
All foreign nationals except European Economic Area (EEA) nationals and their family members who are eligible to join them in the UK under the EEA Regulations, or those who are settled in the UK. It will not affect those already studying in the UK unless they need to extend their stay, or want to re-enter the UK and need leave to enter.



How can I find out if the school I want to study at is on the Register?
Use this link to go the DfES website and search the Register: Department for Education & Skills - Providers' Register

You can also call the DfES Helpline on +44 (0)20 7804 9149



I have already enrolled at a school which is not on the register. What should I do?
Your visa application will be refused. You should enrol at a school which is on the register.
