WELCOME TO TASMAC NEWS

To all students applying for English Tests

2011-05-12T17:33:00.000+01:00

The new UKBA regulations have placed a lot of pressure on test centres. Please book your test as soon as you can. If you need to apply for a visa you need a Pearson Pass (43) OR an IELTS 5.5 or a TOEFL 70 in every section.

This note is for those who need to extend their visas and do not have a valid IELTS or TOEFL certificate with scores that meet the above mentioned requirements.

Please note:
THE PEARSON TEST IS THE QUICKEST WAY FOR YOU TO OBTAIN AN ENGLISH CERTIFICATE FOR UKBA VISA APPLICATIONS.
[Suitable for students who have already matriculated with the University of Wales but who urgently require a visa extension.]
WARNING:
THE PEARSON TEST IS NOT RECOGNISED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF WALES FOR MATRICULATION PURPOSES. THEY ONLY RECOGNISE IELTS OR TOEFL.

For information regarding Pearson Test of English
http://www.pearsonpte.com/PTEAcademic/practicetest/Pages/home.aspx
For a practice test. NB. Make sure you practice before the test!

RESULTS:
Pearson guarantee results within 5 business days from the test date. [Accepted by UKBA only]
TOEFL and IELTS results normally take 2 weeks from the test date. [Accepted by UW + UKBA]

When to book an appointment:
PLEASE make sure you book your appointment well in advance. It can sometimes take a month before you find a suitable IELTS or TOEFL test centre with a vacancy. You then have to wait 2 weeks for your results.

www.ielts.org/test_takers_information.aspx - [To book your IELTS test]

Recommendation from Student Services:
If you have the time, rather write IELTS (6 for BA and 6.5 for MBA)or TOEFL iBT (80 for BA and 90 for MBA)tests. They are internationally acceptable and satisfy the University of Wales’ matriculation criteria.
Pearson Test is only recommended when you have too little time to sit the IELTS or TOEFL iBT tests.

Are you Breaking the Law?

2011-03-03T13:47:00.000Z

Have you ever wanted to experience the British legal system? Ever wondered what it would be like to appear in court? Love the thrill of taking risks?

Over the past year and also very recently, a number of our students have been caught by Transport for London using someone else’s student oyster card. In the past this has resulted in a court appearance, a criminal record and a £120 fine. Students who have a criminal record would also have severe problems extending their visa or applying for PSW due to UKBA regulations. So unless you would like to experience the British Criminal Justice System and feel what it is like to appear in the dock at Hendon Magistrates Court, please do not use your friends student oyster card.

Student 18+ Oyster Cards can be purchased online from www.tfl.gov.uk for £10 and they give a 30% discount on weekly and monthly travel passes. The card runs through the academic year (October—October). Please note the Student 18+ is only worth purchasing if you travel everyday. Do not be tempted into borrowing your friends card for the occasional journey, use your pay–as-you-go card!

Visa correction scheme

2009-11-16T17:46:00.002Z

Occasionally students are granted visas that fall short of the recommended length for the course that they have been accepted on to. Similarly, some students are mistakenly given a prohibition on working when they should be granted permission to work part-time with certain restrictions. UKVisas has an Entry Clearance Correction scheme to try to correct such errors made by overseas Entry Clearance Officers.

Please note that if you presented the Entry Clearance Officer an offer letter for a course and you then changed to a different course after the visa was issued, you cannot use the scheme to correct your visa. If you have failed part of the course and need to extend your visa, you cannot use the scheme to correct your visa

The guidance which Entry Clearance Officers are supposed to follow when issuing student entry clearances is as follows:

POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS -
Postgraduate courses do not always finish at the end of the normal academic year, therefore postgraduate students should be granted 4 months beyond the end of the course irrespective of when it finishes.

NON-POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS ON COURSES FOR ONE ACADEMIC YEAR OR MORE THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE STANDARD AUTUMN TO SUMMER PATTERN should be given the length of their course plus 4 months.

DEPENDANTS OF STUDENTS should be granted the same period as the student.

If you think that you may qualify for the scheme, please contact Student Services.

Information about swine flu

2009-07-29T16:33:00.002+01:00

On 2 July, the national swine flu strategy changed: the focus moved from 'containment' to 'mitigation' and the public health authorities began to concentrate on treating individual patients rather than on trying to reduce the spread of the disease.

The advice to students who are concerned that they may have swine flu is to access the National Pandemic Flu Service.

If you are not online, the service is available by calling 0800 1 513 513.
However, you should phone (not visit) your GP. If you are not registered with a local GP call NHS Direct on 0845 4647

All students are advised to take normal hygiene precautions such as: covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing; using a tissue when possible; disposing of dirty tissues promptly and carefully; washing hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to face or to other people.
