2. Shane Global Schools successfully granted the highly trusted sponsor licence by the UK Border Agency
 

Shane Global is pleased to announce we have been granted a Highly Trusted Sponsor Licence by the UK border agency, under Tier 4 of the points based visa system. The Highly Trusted sponsor licence is a new category of licence, only awarded to Tier 4 sponsors if they have a proven track record of recruiting genuine students who comply with the UK`s immigration rules.

Under Tier 4 of the points-based system, all sponsors receive an "A" or "B" rating. The new Highly Trusted sponsor category which Shane Global has been awarded is a further segmentation of this sponsor rating system. It is designed to identify those sponsors who have the highest levels of compliance with their sponsor obligations, and whose students are showing the greatest compliance with the terms of their visa or permission to stay.

"We are extremely happy to be granted the status of highly trusted sponsors under the Tier 4 points based system. This is a benchmark of quality which we are extremely proud of here at Shane Global. It recognises our schools as quality education providers who comply with the UK Border Agency rules and regulations, and sets us apart as sponsors with the highest levels of compliance amongst many other things. As a highly trusted sponsor, we will be expected to meet the UK Border agency published criteria in full throughout the period we hold the licence."
