Program description:

The Study & Work Experience programme is an ideal opportunity for non-EU students to upgrade their English language skills not only in a class-room situation but also in an everyday working environment, while at the same time earning money to subsidise living expenses.

Non-EU citizens require a STUDENT VISA to enter and work in the United Kingdom, granted by your nearest British Embassy. Our “UK Study & Work Experience” programme offers paid hotel work and leads to the Cambridge Certificate in Work Experience or the Advanced Certificate in Work Experience. As this is a recognised training programme, it is the best and quickest way to apply for and be granted a Student Visa.

This is £4.10 per hour gross payment for 18 - 21 year olds; and £4.85 per hour gross payment for over 22 year olds. Trainees work up to 40 hours a week and thus can earn approximately £164.00 - £194.00 gross per week. In addition, trainees may earn more money by working paid overtime hours when available. A shift system of work usually operates, with trainees normally receiving two free days per week, not necessarily at the weekend. Each hotel has its own working arrangements to which trainees must conform.
