Frequently asked questions

What age groups are your programs suitable for?

We offer programs designed specifically for students aged 11–17 as well as for young adults aged 18 and older. Programs for adults are developed in partnership with prestigious institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, and LSE.

What level of English is required?

English proficiency requirements vary depending on the selected school and program. Our catalogue offers a variety of courses suitable for all proficiency levels, from beginners (A1–B1) to advanced (C1+). We ensure each student finds the right fit and recommend Foundation Year programs to improve your communication skills and smoothly adapt to the new culture.

Is admission guaranteed?

Admission to a specific school cannot be guaranteed, as the final decision always rests with the institution itself. However, with our extensive experience and deep understanding of the admissions process, we objectively evaluate each student’s chances. We recommend applying to multiple schools and considering Foundation Year to maximize your opportunities. Since our consultations are completely free, the only financial commitment required upfront is the school’s admission fee, paid directly to the institution upon application.

How much do Edvision services cost?

Our consultations, school selection, and full support throughout the admission process are provided completely free of charge. You only pay tuition fees directly to your chosen educational institution. Contact us for detailed advice on choosing a school, budgeting, and admission assistance! More on budget planning.

Do you provide visa support for the UK?

We assist families throughout the UK student visa process and ensure all required documentation is prepared correctly and on time. Once a student receives an official offer from a UK private school, the school issues a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and formal invitation documents.
