I liked the teaching because they had interactive lessons which permitted us to talk a lot. Activities were good too because we got to know students from other countries.Marco, Italy

Exciting academic programmesEnglish language classes

Our English language classes are designed

specifically for short-term language courses.

With a maximum of 15 students per class,

you will improve your English by focusing on

speaking and listening.

Culture Club

Our English classes will improve your speaking

skills and increase interaction and classroom

participation. And, with many of our students

going on to further education courses that will

be conducted in English, we also run a series

of lively lectures as an alternative to some of

the sports and arts options. These allow you to

practice the note-taking and listening skills you

will need in an academic environment.

Embassy ICT

Technology plays an increasingly important part in

modern education. Many of our summer centres

have classrooms equipped with data projectors,

computers and, in some cases, interactive

whiteboards. This enables us to use video,

flipcharts and CD-ROMs in classes.

a guardian system for our individual students in

our junior centres. In addition, there are on-site

first aiders and established links with local

doctors, dentists and hospitals for any first aid

issues that may arise.

All students under the age of 18 should be

(lessons and activities) attendance is compulsory.

Students under 18 will not be allowed to leave

the centre unaccompanied at any time*.

I think that this holiday is an important experience because it gives us the opportunity to visit new and different places and meet lots of other students of different nationalities.Friederike, Germany


Arrival in the country

Embassy Summer provides a meet and greet

service for all students who have requested a

transfer to the centre. All students under the

age of 18 travelling to or from a centre must be

accompanied by an adult. You will be met on

arrival and taken to your accommodation.

For students aged 18 or over, or those travelling

with a parent or guardian, we will provide

information and directions to the centre.

Help during your stay

On arrival at the centre, you will be welcomed

by our staff and receive a full induction to

enable you to settle in quickly and enjoy your

stay with us.

All students are issued with an ID Card during

their stay, for which you should bring a passport

photograph. Students must keep the ID Card with

them at all times, it contains not only the address

of the centre, but important telephone numbers

should you require assistance. Students with any

enquiries or problems can speak to our staff at

the centre, or contact our 24-hour emergency

telephone service.

StudyCare insurance

It is essential that all students travelling

abroad have adequate insurance in case of a

medical or other emergency. Embassy offers a

comprehensive insurance policy called StudyCare

which is specifically designed to meet the needs

of international students. Please contact

us for more details of this policy.

Medical conditions

For the safety of all students and so that we may

provide proper care, it is imperative that students

make us fully aware of any medical or psychiatric

conditions that are being treated. We reserve the

right to refuse enrolments from students who we

feel will not be able to participate fully in our

programmes. Students who do not properly

notify us of a condition may be excluded from

the programme.

All enrolments are subject to the following conditions which become

legally binding on acceptance of enrolment by Embassy Summer.

1. Payment of Fees

All fees including application fee must be paid in full no later than

14 days before arrival. Transfers and accommodation will not be

confirmed until all monies have been paid in full.

2. Services

The company reserves the right to change the particulars of

the services, including changes to courses, locations, facilities

and dates of the programmes where circumstances beyond

the company’s control necessitate such changes or where the

number of bookings received does not reach the minimum

numbers required to operate a course viably.

3. General Refund Policy

All refunds will be sent to the account of the Embassy

representative to whom the fees were originally paid, or to

the individual from whom Embassy has received the original

direct payment. If a student’s visa application is rejected after

payment has been received all fees, excluding any cancellation

fees detailed in the Cancellation Policy below, will be refunded

within 28 days, provided a visa refusal letter is received by

our International Admissions Centre at least 2 working days

before the course is due to start and the student has fulfilled all

requirements for a visa application. No refund will be made if a

visa rejection is based on student’s failure to meet the necessary

criteria for their chosen visa category.

Students in Los Angeles and San Francisco must sign a California

State Enrolment & Refund Agreement form. Refunds will be

processed according to these terms and conditions.

Australia In Australia this agreement, and the availability of

complaints and appeals processes, does not remove the right of

the student to take action under Australia’s consumer protection

laws. Refunds will be provided to students within 28 days if the

student defaults and within 14 days if the school defaults. In the

unlikely event that the school is unable to deliver a course in full,

the student will be offered a refund of all the course money paid

to date. The refund will be paid within 14 days of the day on which

the course ceased being provided. Alternatively, the student may

be offered enrolment in a suitable alternative course by the school

at no extra cost. The student has the right to choose whether

they would prefer a full refund of course fees, or to accept a

place on another course. If they choose placement on another

course, Embassy will ask them to sign a document to indicate

acceptance of the placement.

If the school is unable to provide a refund or place the student

on an alternative course our Tuition Assurance Scheme (TAS)

provider will place them on a suitable alternative course at no

extra cost. Finally, if the TAS provider cannot place the student in

a suitable alternative course, the ESOS Assurance Fund Manager

will attempt to place them on a suitable alternative course or,

if this is not possible, the student will be eligible for a refund as

calculated by the Fund Manager.

Terms and ConditionsYour local agent

We recommend that you book your course through one of the

many Embassy Summer agents around the world. They have the

information, knowledge and experience to answer your questions

and help you make the right choice. They are also a useful

contact point for you before you leave home.

If you would like us to help you find your local agent, please

contact us. Alternatively, you can book directly through our

website embassyces.com/summer.

Confirmation of enrolment

We will process the booking and confirm your enrolment in writing

to you, or your agent, and send you all the information you need.

Homestay students will normally receive details of their

accommodation one to two weeks before arrival.

Special requests

Students, or their agents, are welcome to make special requests

regarding their programme or accommodation. Whilst every

effort will be made to fulfil these requests, Embassy Summer

cannot guarantee to be able to comply with every request, and

such requests cannot be made a pre-condition of a booking with

Embassy Summer.

Payment

You should make your payment to your agent or, if booking

directly, by bank transfer direct to Embassy. Full details are

included on the application form attached to this brochure.

All payment must be received 14 days before students arrive.

Transfers, accommodation or tuition will not be provided unless,

full payment has been received.

All bookings are made subject to our Terms and Conditions of

booking.

Start dates

All courses start on Sunday with the academic programme

commencing on Monday (except where indicated). Students

should therefore plan to arrive on Sunday. Students or groups

who join international programmes midweek may not be able to

be integrated into international classes until the following Monday.

Lessons

In some centres lessons may take place either in the morning

or afternoon and will normally alternate weekly. This means that

students having lessons in the afternoon one week will normally

have morning lessons the following week.

Age limits

There is a minimum and maximum age limit for some of the

Embassy Summer schools, as indicated in the brochure. For

applications outside the recommended age range, Embassy

Summer will have the final decision. Students below the

minimum age for a centre will only be accepted in exceptional

circumstances. They must be accompanied by an adult leader

who will take full responsibility for their safety and welfare, and

they may not be included in classes unless there is a suitable

class for them.

Embassy ICT

Technology plays an increasingly important part in modern

education and here at Embassy we endeavour to be market

leaders. Many of the summer centres we use have classrooms

equipped with data projectors, computers and, in some cases,

interactive white-boards. This enables us to include video, flipcharts

and CD-ROMs into the lesson.

Trinity Examination

We are pleased to offer students travelling to the UK the Trinity

Examination in Spoken English at all of our centres. The cost for

2012 will be £65 per student for levels 1-6 and £85 for levels 7-12.

This cost does not include preparation classes, however we can

offer these at an additional cost of £20 per student for a total of

four hours whilst at the centre. These classes will be run as group

classes. Please note that the Trinity Examination is subject to a

minimum number of 12 participants, and we are happy to advise

you if that number has been reached at your chosen location.

All Trinity Examination bookings must be submitted by

30 May 2012.

Register of sponsor

Embassy Summer is accredited for the provision of English and

Academic courses for overseas students through the UKBA

Register of Sponsors, Sponsor Licence Number RFXNY1AK2.

This means that unlike those providers who are not accredited,

we are fully able to assist you in obtaining your students’ visas for

studying in the UK.

General disclaimer

Please note that the colleges and universities listed in the

brochure, provide facilities only. The summer course is run by

5. Withdrawal Policy

Embassy defines withdrawal as termination of a course after the

first course has started. Any withdrawal must be made in writing

to our International Admissions Centre Application Fee, Courier

Fee, airport transfer fee and StudyCare will not be refunded for

any student terminating their course after arrival.

No fees will be refunded to students who leave after the course

courses, the course start date for the purpose of this clause is

that of the initial Embassy course.

6. Visas

Some students require a student Visa or tourist Visa. Students

should contact their local embassy, Consulate or High

Commission to ensure they are allowed to enter and study

in their chosen country. Arranging the correct Visa is the

sole responsibility of the student or agent. No visa support

documentation will be provided until all fees have been received.

7. Accident & Medical Insurance

It is a condition of making a booking with Embassy that all

students have appropriate medical insurance. The company

recommends that all students take our own StudyCare insurance

which is tailored to the needs of international students. Cover

under the StudyCare insurance policy does not commence until

the insurance fees have been paid in full. The StudyCare insurance

fee is non-refundable. Students not wishing to take StudyCare

must present an equivalent insurance certificate at enrolment.

8. Liability

Embassy and its staff and representatives will not be liable for

loss, damage or injury to persons or property howsoever caused,

except where liability is expressly imposed by law. Embassy

will not be liable in the event that any service contracted to be

supplied by Embassy becomes impossible to supply for any

reason or any cause outside the control of Embassy.

9. Behaviour and Discipline

As all our students choose our courses to obtain the best

program possible we owe it to all our guests to make sure that

they can study and enjoy the stage to the fullest. Embassy

reserves the right to terminate the program of any person or

group whose behaviour is likely in our opinion to cause distress,

damage or danger to other participants, Embassy employees or

anyone else. Embassy reserves the right to terminate the program

of any person or group whose behaviour is contrary to applicable

local laws. This behaviour includes but is not limited to: under-

age purchase or consumption of alcohol, procession of illegal

substances, damage to property, threatening or violent behaviour.

10. Our Student Discipline Procedure

Our general discipline procedure in cases of misbehaviour is

as follows: in the first instance a student will be given a verbal

warning. If the incident is repeated then the student can

immediately be issued with a written warning, the second stage

of our discipline procedure. Once a written warning has been

issued, Embassy would contact the agent as soon as possible,

allowing differences in time zones. Any student who has been

issued with a written warning will be made fully aware that any

further incidents will result in removal from the centre.

11. Expulsion

Student or group leaders who disregard the rules laid down by

our staff may be sent home or to another centre. Fmbassy will

not be liable for any costs incurred in repatriating a person or

group to their country of origin. No refunds will be made for any

programme missed as a result of such termination. In UK and

USA such decision is final. In Australia, a student has the right to

appeal against such a decision and details of that process are

available from the school. Students and their parents or guardians,

where applicable, agree to pay the tuition fees and other charges

applicable for the course on the due dates. It is understood and

agreed that failure to do this may result in suspension from the

programme and cancellation of the enrolment.

12. Resolution of Disputes

if a student, group leader or agent wishes to complain about any

aspect of the services provided by Embassy, such complaint

must initially be made to the Centre Manager or representative

on site. Each complaint will be fully investigated provided that it

is received within a month of the course ending, it was initially

registered in writing with an on-site representative or Centre

Manager and all fees have been paid in full. In the event that

the matter is not resolved, the student or group leader or agent

should make a complaint in writing to the Embassy head office

(see back cover).

that the student’s photo, quotes and details of achievements may

be used for promotional purposes without written consent or

notification.
