Please be very careful about what you say about our college. We have been training students in the UK for over 20 years and continue to do so. We have opened an English language school here in the Philippines because my asawa is a Filipino and we now live here for most of the year.
We are certainly authorised by the UK Border Agency to offer the A1 test after very rigorous evaluation of our qualifications and experience.
You are always very welcome to contact LCCI, EDI, or the UK Border Agency for confirmation of our accreditation, and we are also registered as a UK Learning Provider.
I take great offence at the suggestions you have made.
... as are the asawas of more than ninety percent of our membership [mine included]; in which case, you'll be only too well aware that we've all had to go through "hell and high water" - not to mention the considerable expense involved - in order to bring our chosen, lawfully-wedded partners to the UK.
Consequent upon the introduction of compulsory English Language Testing for non-European spouses,we are naturally going to be on our guard against ANY organisation that might view the new requirement as a business opportunity to capitalise on changes to the System.
Rest assured, that is not implying we doubt your credentials.But throughout the years of its existence, this forum has built-up an enviable track record in guiding literally hundreds of folk towards their goals with the minimum of fuss ... due to expert advice which is freely given at all times.
I would like to verify the bona-fide of your organisation before my partner takes the A1 test with you.
I have contacted the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and EDI but have been unable to determine any accreditation for THEODOLITE TRAINING GROUP. I have also contacted the UK Border Agency (UKBA) who can provide no details for you either. I have also consulted the register of UK Learning Providers - UKRLP (by phone and their website) and they have no record of THEODOLITE TRAINING GROUP, either now or historically.
You also claim to be a a recognsed training provider in the UK for 20 years but you simply state that you are situated on the 'south coast', no address is given. Your UK phone number is not a landline but an internet number.
I have also checked with Companies House and there is certainly no company with the name THEODOLITE TRAINING GROUP now, or in the past 20 years. On one website, you claim that THEODOLITE TRAINING GROUP UK is 'incorporated' but it has certainly never been incorporated in the UK.
Please provide contacts at LCCI/EDI/UKBA/UKRLP who can verify your claims.
