We had to close our building and put on hold our face-to-face courses when the UK government advised all UK schools to close due to Covid-19.
However, Language Link London remains open for online teaching. Our staff are working safely from home and are available to support students, agents and parents.
Our safety measures will ensure students can learn safely together while maintaining social distancing:
We are keeping up-to-date and will follow all NHS and government advice as it issued.
Many countries are on the UK government’s safe list and people travelling from those countries will not have to quarantine on arrival in the UK.
You can see the full list and keep up-to-date on the latest information from the UK government at: gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-travel-corridors.
In case you will have to quarantine on arrival in the UK, you will receive a warm welcome on arrival from us and we will make sure you are properly looked after.
You will need to give border control the address of where you are staying and how you are travelling there (you can book a private transfer to the residence through Language Link London). Your homestay host or Language Link London staff if you are in a residence will provide support and help with food and other items that you need while quarantining.
You can learn online with Language Link London teachers and classmates until you can join us at the school.
We have protocols in place for this situation and will make sure the student who is ill is well cared for, and that other students are safe.
Students need to let us know straight away if they feel unwell – by call, WhatsApp, text or the Language Link London emergency number. Full details will be given in their starter pack.
All our accommodation options will be available for your course from September: homestay student residencies, and hotels.
