Another way to make paytment is through online card payment on the school site. More instructions can be seen on the school website on payment of fees. You can also discuss with our customer service team on further advice.

The process of admission takes between 2 days to 2 weeks. This depends on the school as well as nature of the course applied. Some courses require decisions to be taken by the faculty. This means that the admission team would have to pass the student’s documents to the faculty for decision making thereby resulting too late response. Again where a student does not meet the specific requirement but probably has work experience, they would result in the admission team sending the student’s documents to the faculty for decision making. But where there is a straight forward application the admission team takes a quick decision.

Yes every school has its own policy. Some schools take between 30% - 50% down payment and balance can be paid gradually on arrival to school

This depends on the program. Some programs are one year or two years and the tuition fees are just once. This would be stated in the offer letter. But for undergraduates and Ph.D., their tuition fees are paid yearly. There are some 2 years courses too like the MSc Nursing with registration would require two years fees

Students can send directly to the school. But we advise against this because if the student's ID number has not been generated it would be difficult to locate student once the transcript arrive. However, we recomend that students should send their transcript to our email or using DHL to our UK postal office address Jokings Educare 28 Park street Luton Bedfordshire LU1 3FL United Kingdom or possibly to any of our offices in Nigeria

Tuition fees range from £11000 to £25000 depending on the schoolThe rule expects that if a student pays his tuition fees he would need to show that he or she has £9135 in their account for one month if their school is based outside London. But if their school is based inside London, then they would need to show that they have £11,385 for one month.Also, if the student pays just 50% of their tuition fees they would need to show that they have £9135 Plus the balance 50% tuition in their account for one month if their school is based outside London. And for those schools inside London, they would need to show that they have £11,385 Plus the balance 50% tuition for one month. Another Illustration Note I am using N500 exchange rate. This may be a bit higher or lower Master tuition fee - (£12500) N6,250,000*** Expected to deposit (£5,000) N2,500,000***. (Balance can be paid at a later time when you are in the UK) The UK Law expects that if a student pays his tuition fees he would need to show that he or she has £9135 funds for upkeep or maitenance in their account for one month if their school is based outside London. But NOTE, if you only pay part of you fees , the UK law expects that you show that you have the balance fees - (£12,500-£5000= £7500) in your account plus the upkeep or maintenance funds -£9,135 This implies that you have funds for upkeep and remaining fees (Balance fees £7500 + £9135= £16,135) and In Naira bank gives you N8,067,500 Now if you do not have that N8,067,500, we can recommend a bank that can lend you that money for one month at 10% The bank would fix the funds at 10%. Of N8,067,500 = N806,750 So if you ask me how much total would I spend Total to spend fees and bank interest (N2,500,000 fess + N806,750). N3,306,750

Many schools insist that students must complete an immigration history form. This form is usually gotten or received from the school. It is basically meant for the student who has previously studied in the UK or have visited the UK. It requires that we complete the date the students arrived in the UK, and when they left the UK as well as what they came to do in the UK. In such cases, I would advise you to discuss this with me on this. Sometimes students who have had previous visa refusals have always been refused by schools because of such disclosure. So let’s discuss this before it is sent to the school.

United Kingdom For the UK, a student is expected to maintain these funds in the bank account for 28 days. Canada In the case of Canada, the embassy would like to see a 6 months bank statement from the student or their sponsor ​ USA In the case of the USA, the embassy would like to see a 6 months bank statement from the student or their sponsor ​ Australia In the case of the USA, the embassy would like to see a 6 months bank statement from the student or their sponsor ​ Germany ​ The student is expected to open a blocked account in Germany and this is done online while the student is in their home country. They are expected to open the account with EUR 8960 ​ Europe All other European student visa application would require one month bank statement

This is the expected funds required by law for a student to have before coming abroad for studies. Tgere are various amounts as stipulated by the immigration office of each country

Yes a student can travel along with his family. but in the case of the United Kingdom, it has to be a postgraduate student

This is an assessment used by the immigration office or embassy to assess the credibility of a student on his or her intentions to study in that country. They apparently want to know how genuine the student's intention to study. This is done by asking them certain questions to ascertain their genuineness

Why did you choose to study in the UK? What is the name of your school? What course are you going for? How much is your fee? How much is your maintenance or upkeep money? When Is the start and end date of your course? Where would you stay when you come to the UK? How Much is the hostel fees? Who would be sponsoring you? Did you apply or check any other school?

Yes the UK and most other countries offer 20 hours work permit to a student. However, when the student is on holiday, like summer or Christmas break they can work full time within this period. Also, for students who are married and come with their spouse, the partner can work full time.

Unitede Kingdom The UK requires an individual to stay in the UK for 10 years legally in order to obtain an indefinite leave to remain. But there are cases where a student can obtain indefinite leave to remain before 10 years.A. The student changes his status to a Tier 2 work permit. This means he gets a permanent job from an organization that has the license to grant a work permitB. The student moves to the Tier 1 entrepreneur or innovators visaC. Get married to a British Citizen

United Kingdom The process is for the main applicant who is the student. As for the family, they would need to apply for a Tier 4 dependant visa and the law expects them to have the sum of £6120 for each family member in their account for one month

Yes, a student can work for 20 hours a week while studying. Also during the major holidays, you can as well work full time but permission would be obtained from your institution.

Your financial sponsor can be your father or your mother. Also, you can get a sponsorship letter from a UKVI recognised financial sponsor

The rule expects that if you are studying outside London, you are supposed to maintain £9135 in your account for 28 days. And if you are studying inside London , you would need to maintain £11,385 for 28 days . Note by outside London we means your school is based outside the city of London and inside London, your school is located in the city of London

Lets use this as a sample; If the student pays just 50% of their tuition fees they would need to show that they have £9135 Plus the balance 50% tuition in their account for one month if their school is based outside London. And for those schools inside London, they would need to show that they have £11,385 Plus the balance 50% tuition for one month. So if your fees is £12,000 And you pay 100%, its means all you need for 28 days is; School outside London - £9,135 Inside London - £11,385 However if you pay 50% out of the £11,000, it means you need to have; Schools Outside London- £9,135 + £5,500 (50% fees) = £14,635 Schools Inside London - £11,385 + £5,500 (50% fees) = £16,885 Check the value in your currency using OANDA

This depends on the city where you are staying. Most accommodation outside the school premised cost between £300 to £500 a month. Also, for proivate luxary accommodation you may get them between £100 -£190 a week and this depends on the kind of accommodation you select

Securing a bank overdraft or credit card in the Uk depends on the credit check carried out by the financial institution. Once you arrive the UK, ensure to maintain a good credit record. You can visit online to see how you good get a good credit rating or keep a good credit record while in the UK

However we advice that you check the city where your school is located to get more information about the place. You can get severally jobs and this would depend on how you organise your curriculum vitae

This is apparently possible. Most times students do not beleieve that they can secure highly skilled jobs in the UK. In pastr we have several students who have gotten great jobs and were offer a tier 2 work permit.

In all honestly, this is very slim to achieve. Most students think that when they arrive the UK, they may be able to work and pay off the balance of their fees. Remember you can only work for 20 hours a week. This means that your ability to earn as much as £1000 is absolutely slim. We advise you ensure to get every support from your home country towards your tuition fee payment before arriving the UK
