Student visa, what school is good

[hrpuffnstuff]

Hi to everyone.
I want to bring my Fiancee over to UK for about 8 months whereby she will work part time, and study English Language.
I have looked all all the important websites, and have telephoned UKVISA and Liza can come here on a student visa, thus allowing her to work part time.
Now she has to enroll in a government recognized college/school/private institute.
has anyone filipina come here on a student visa, and went to schools to study English and then worked part time?
Can you recommend where you studied?
How much was the course?
Did you have to attend ALL THE TIME??
We live in Kent, 20 mins outside London

p.s
I am English Liza filipina, we are only going to work here for 6/8 months and then return to Manila.
Just thought that might help??

regards

The standard student entry fee should be charged for a student application whatever the length of stay intended in the UK.
12.4 - Students and how they qualify - Paragraph 57 of HC 395
To qualify for admission as a student, applicants must:

Introduction of Department for Education and Skills' Register of Education and Training Providers.
From 1 January 2005 a new requirement was introduced in the Rules for those seeking Leave to Enter or Leave to Remain in the United Kingdom for the purpose of study. The education provider must be registered with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) for inclusion on the DfES Register of Education and Training Providers. The relevant Rules change appears in paragraph 57 of the Immigration Rules.
Educational institutions affected by the Rules change
From 1 January 2005, to qualify under paragraph 57 of the Rules, anyone seeking entry as a student will have to demonstrate that he has been accepted on a course of study at an education provider included on the Register. This will apply equally to those students already in the United Kingdom seeking Leave to Remain and those applying for Leave to Enter at ports.
Access to DfES Register of Education and Training Providers
Entry Clearance Officers may access the DfES Register via the DfES website at www.dfes.gov.uk/providersregister. The DfES is responsible for all updates on the online Register.
Educational institutions not included on DfES Register
From 1 January 2005 if the education provider at which a student has been accepted for a course of study is not registered the application should be refused since it fails to comply with paragraph 57 of the Immigration Rules.
Enquiries about DfES registration
Entry Clearance Officers should not normally receive enquiries about the registration scheme from education and training providers. However, if any such enquiries are received, the following contact information about DfES registration should be given:
Registration helpline: +44 (0)20 7804 9149
Registration application form requests: +44 (0)20 7804 9179
Registration website: www.dfes.gov.uk/providersregister
The website page also provides details of the address to which applications for registration should be sent.
Endorsement and leave to enter
Unless otherwise listed in the guidance, entry clearance should be endorsed:
'D: STUDENT'
Leave to enter may be granted as outlined below, on Code 2 conditions:
Students in further and higher education
Undergraduate degree courses at publicly funded institutions
Students studying degree courses where the normal academic year ends in June/July, leave to enter should be granted until the 31 October following the end of the course on Code 2 conditions.
Students studying degree courses which do not follow the normal academic year, leave to enter should be granted for the duration of the course plus 4 months, on Code 2.
Where a student has an unconditional offer(s), provided that there is evidence that the unconditional offer(s) has been accepted by the applicant, leave to enter should be granted until 31 October following the end of the course or 4 months after the end of the course on Code 2 conditions.
For students with conditional offers please see section 12.17 below.
Postgraduate courses
As postgraduate courses do not always finish at the end of the normal academic year, postgraduate students should also be granted a similar extension, 4 months beyond the end of the course irrespective of when it finishes, or to the date of the submission of the thesis plus extra time as advised by the institution on a Code 2. The extra period is often necessary for the processes which follow the submission of the thesis or dissertation, including any correction or rewriting that may have to be done. (Please also remember that leave to enter may be granted under paragraph 69G of the Rules for the specific purpose of writing up a thesis).
Short foundation courses
Students who are doing a short foundation course as a specific precursor to a degree or similar course should normally be granted leave to enter to cover the duration of both courses, plus 4 months or until 31 October after the end of the degree course on a Code 2, provided they are fully enrolled on the second course. This provision does not apply to students taking general courses, for example, A Level or HNC/D, which may qualify them to go onto a degree.
If the applicant has not enrolled on the second course, or if the final acceptance is dependant on successfully passing the first course, leave to enter should normally be granted only for the duration of the foundation course, plus the usual 4 months or until 31 October if it is clear that the applicant is intending to continue studies in the publicly funded sector.
HNC and HND courses (private or publicly funded institutions)
Students studying HNC or HND courses at either a private or publicly funded institution should normally be granted leave to enter for the duration of the HNC or HND course plus 4 months or to 31 October after the end of the course depending on whether it follows the normal academic year, on Code 2 conditions.
BTEC and NVQ courses
Students studying BTEC and NVQ courses should normally be granted leave to enter for the duration of the course plus 4 months on Code 2.
Other courses at private education institutions
Students studying vocational type courses should be granted leave to enter for the duration of he course (up to a maximum of 12 months) plus 2 months, on Code 2.
Short term students
Short term students studying English or those enrolled on any other short course of six months duration or less and who indicate the intention to take part time employment, subject to meeting the requirements of paragraph 57 of HC395, may be granted leave to enter for the duration of their course up to 6 months at a time on Code 2 conditions.
If the course is for over six months, the practice should be to grant leave to enter to cover the period in question up to a maximum of 12 months on Code 2 conditions.
Non-visa nationals (not in phase 1) should be reminded that if they intend to take further study below degree level, they should be advised to seek an entry clearance as a student or prospective student, since failure to do so would prevent then from obtaining further leave to remain in the UK as a student below degree level under the 1 October Rules change. Similarly, those undertaking a course below degree level that is over 6 months in duration should be advised to seek entry clearance as a student or prospective student, as under UK Residence Permit arrangements Immigration Officers at ports of entry can grant leave to enter only up to a maximum of 6 months
