UK language Courses (UKLC) Chester, offer 15 hours per week of English language study. The academic program is innovative and varied with a focus on communication and increasing student confidence in the use of English. UKLC understands that all students are different and our specially designed and tailored program has been created to dynamically trigger student motivation.

 

All students are assessed via a first day placement test according to their age and needs to ensure correct and compatible grouping. Groups are deliberately kept small to ensure personal and high level student/teacher time ratios, with a maximum of 12 students per group. All students receive a level based certificate at the end of their course.

 

During their classes students will not only study the English language but experience a wonderful cross cultural curriculum including British history geography and literature. During their free time and excursion times they will of course have many opportunities to relax and enjoy the culture and sights of Historic Chester.

​

Steps we take to ensure the welfare of students;

 

• Our “Operations and Safeguarding Handbook” is distributed to all staff. 

• All staff undergo appropriate background and safeguarding checks a dedicated Safeguarding and Welfare Coordinator at every site all students are given an induction lesson highlighting the rules for that centre.

• All group leaders are given an induction talk when they arrive which detail their responsibilities towards their group but also as an adult at a residential centre.

• We work with group leaders to ensure their students have a safe and enjoyable stay, taking full responsibility for students when they are  in lessons and on scheduled activities.

• We assist group leaders to ensure students’ safety and care outside of scheduled activities and during excursions.

• UKLC staff are available 24 hours a day for any issue that may arise.

• There is an 24 hour emergency number for partner agents, parents and students.

• All students get given a UKLC wristband and lanyard to be worn at all times.

• Individuals are allocated to a member of UKLC staff who will act as their group leader and point of reference at all times.
