Purpose

To provide guidelines for Alpha Ten Training Centre on minimum student attainment and attendance requirements for international students enrolled in Alpha Ten Training Centre programmes. To enable Alpha Ten Training Centre to monitor student academic progress and attendance progress. To develop a robust reporting system that would enable Alpha Ten Training Centre to report students who fail to meet with their visa conditions.

Background

Under the UK Immigration Law, Education Providers must have processes in place to ensure that international students are maintaining their programme requirements and, to follow up in the event that a student ceases attendance before programme completion date, or does not turn up in the school after arrival in the UK. Alpha Ten Training Centre is also committed to the wellbeing and success of its international students where teaching staff will closely monitor the progress and attendance of each student through a process of observation and enquiry.

Statutory Compliance

Alpha Ten Training Centre has adopted a Code of Practice as laid down by the Immigration authority and the Accreditation Agency on the pastoral care of international students as contained in the Home Office document.

National Guidelines

The Home Office Border Agency stipulated that educational provider provides an assurance that the education provider is confident that the student is capable of doing the particular course of study and, it involves a pledge from the sponsoring education provider that it will accept responsibility for the student whilst he/she is in the UK.

Policy

 International students who do not pass at least 80% of the courses in their programme of study can be given no more than one opportunity to re-enrol in the programme.
