Extending visa

Post by rwpjobs » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:59 pm

Hi

I need some advice, I've been here for two years studying English but now i need to renew. A friend assures me that I can extend my visa on the basis of signing up to a Business English course, but everything I've read online tells me otherwise. Does anyone have any info on this? Alternatively, I am also studying ACCA, can I use this to renew my visa?

Many thanks

its the same case with me. I completed 11 papers of ACCA from home country and came to UK in 2006 and start stuying diplomas for three years, now I am planning to get admission in ACCA course for last three papers. I shall highly recommend to start your ACCA studies and extend your visa on ACCA work hard with it and when u qualify then get ur master degree from LCA in 6 months for just £1500 if u r ACCA qualified, otherwise if u can afford there r more courses at Noethampton uni and Birmingham City Uni for ACCA affiliates in just 5 months which ll make u eligible for PSW, and when u ll be ACCA + Masters from UK Uni, and having PSW u ll get a contract with a CA or ACCA firm easily. Best of luck buddy.

Of course you can extend your visa using ACCA.
