I have heard of quite a few instances of this... "colleges" charging large amounts of money for ESOL and Citizenship course which are then not recognised - said "college" then vanishes with the money and the applicant has paid a non-refundable �600 application fee...
Anyone with information about such operations should pass it on to the Advisory board on Naturalisation and Integration http://www.abni.org.uk/
It doesn't help that some 'official' colleges are unsure of what the regulations are. It appears that the requirements are for the course to have content from the NIACE Citizenship materials http://www.niace.org.uk/projects/esolcitizenship/. The courses offered by the college I work at are sufficient for Citizenship applications - but the course is not marketed as ESOL with Citizenship. I have had Entry 1 students attempting the Life in the UK test, without realising that the course that they are studying is sufficient - I try to advise them, but there is clearly a lot of incorrect information being passed around. |
