PRESS RELEASE
MAJESTIC COLLEGE

 

AFFINITY TRAINING COLLAPSE VICTIM?

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

 

07 August 2008

 

Majestic College, the leading NVQ training provider, has been inundated with enquiries from international students, employers and assessors who have lost money following the collapse of Affinity Training Ltd last week.

 

The majority of enquiries came from students who have arrived in the UK during the last three months and are still awaiting a start date for their training.

 

Some of the students have already completed their portfolios but were told that there was no IV (Internal verifier) or EV (External Verifier) available to complete their work and issue certificates. Others, some of whom have been in the UK for nearly 2 years, are still awaiting final certificates.

 

Many of the callers said they had been in the UK for nearly 2 years but had never seen the college.

 

Students in the UK on student visas are desperately worried about their legal status now that they are unable to remain in full time study (part of the student visa requirements) following the collapse of their NVQ provider.

 

Important

 

International students, on student visas, will need to register with a new college. To comply with your visa conditions the college must be on the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills or DIUS (Formerly DfES) Register.

 

You can search the register at: http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/providersregister/search.cfm.

 

How can Majestic Help?


Majestic College
are running portfolio days for ex-Affinity students to enable their Internal Verifier to assess how far students have got with their portfolios and recommend an action plan to enable them to continue with their course and achieve the qualification.

 

No appointment needed.

 

For further information call 020 8207 1020 and bring your Portfolio when you attend the consultation.

Employers - Are You Employing People Illegally?
A talk covering the forthcoming changes in UK Immigration Policy (Immigration Asylum and Nationality Act 2006) and the proposed Points Based System for Work Permits. Employers are unwittingly employing foreign staff without the correct work permits or visas. With new fines of up to £1000 being introduced, this could be an expensive mistake.
