Why choose a school which is accredited by the British Council?
|
The English in Britain Accreditation Scheme monitors and improves standards of management, teaching, resources and welfare in organisations teaching English as a foreign language in Britain.
Schools in this scheme are regularly inspected and a report is produced on each institution. If a school is accredited it must provide:
- appropriately qualified teachers
- teaching which meets the Scheme standards
- accommodation, including homestays, which is regularly inspected and meets Scheme standards
- safe premises, with properly-equipped classrooms and areas for relaxation
- brochures and publicity materials which accurately reflect what is provided
- proper emergency procedures, known to staff and students.
|
| What happens if you want to complain about the school? |
If you are a student at an accredited centre and you have a serious complaint, you should:
- first discuss the matter with the school principal or head of EFL.
- if no satisfactory solution is found, then refer the complaint in detail and in writing to the Accreditation Unit at the address below.
