The college on its site claimed to be registered. I checked with Companies House and it is registered. Very little info is available about the comapny other than its registered number and address. I have phoned them and actually spoke with Yash Dumon.
It appears as though they have a number of 'reps' working in the Philippines to recruit people to their 'course'. The course is a Health and Social care course NVQ level 2 to 3. He also told me, when asked, that they will work 20hrs per week concurrently with the course and earn £200 per week. They have to pay their own accomodation and food. After finishing the course he told me they have to show a minimum of £6,000 in their bank account to satisfy the immigration authorities. Of course, they then go on to give hope of future long term employment. They can appear genuine on the surface BUT I suspect that these so called colleges are exploiting the law in the
way they operate as a college as well as the current rules on
immigration. For example. A foreign student can work in the UK, but
only if they are currently enrolled in a course at a college of
further education. When the course finishes they will not be able to continue to stay in the UK.
I was hoping that someone who has been recruited like this may visit this site and comment.
