Entry Clearances: Overseas Students
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the oral statement of 13 June 2011, Official Report, columns 54-5WS, on changes to immigration rules, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that as a consequence of part 8 (accountancy courses) the ACCA is independent of and not a sponsor for institutions and organisations providing ACCA-accredited qualifications.
- Answer
-
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is not an education provider; it is an awarding organisation and is therefore not eligible for a tier 4 sponsor licence. Education providers that do become licensed sponsors may only offer ACCA courses to international students under tier 4 if they are gold or platinum approved learning partners by ACCA.
