Academic Summary Teaching Methodology

BBSI’s aim is to develop students’ language within real-life contexts on all courses. In General English courses, the emphasis is on improving communication across all 4 skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). These courses offer a blended learning approach. Classroom teaching includes the use of a Virtual Learning platform that allows students the flexibility to access a wide range of activities to meet their needs and interests, both in school and at home. It also allows BBSI teachers to closely monitor progress and to provide targeted work to challenge students and to personalise learning. On specialised courses, students learn about key concepts and theories within their subject through the medium of English. Students are able to focus on learning the terms, study skills and communication skills that will help them, whether in their career or in higher education. There is a strong emphasis on learner independence, which involves the students in research and collaboration tasks outside the classroom. Those who choose to progress to university have the advantage of academic language skills, as well as specific knowledge about their subject to put them ahead of their peers.

Academic Staff

The emphasis at BBSI is on high-quality professional teaching. We employ full-time native-speaker teachers, as well as part-time teachers and freelance specialists. Our policy is to recruit experienced individuals with at least a first degree, plus an ELT teaching certificate or diploma and appropriate experience, in accordance with the British Council accreditation scheme, AccreditationUK. Specialist teachers normally also have appropriate professional qualifications and experience in their respective fields.

Academic Progress Monitoring, Reporting & Assessment

Students take an entry test on arrival at BBSI and are then placed in appropriate classes. Academic achievement is assessed by means of continuous assessment. During their course, students are set a range of course work to assess their progress and understanding, including essays, reports, meeting role-plays, spread-sheets, presentations and academic assignments. We ensure high academic standards and the allocation of an appropriate final grade on all BBSI awards. Student tutorials are an important part of the feedback process, so students are aware of the progress they are making, and how best to improve.

BBSI Awards

BBSI is a holder of the NCFE Investing in Quality (IIQ) licence. The IIQ is designed to give formal recognition to our bespoke education and training provision, which is regarded by Ofqual to be ‘non-regulated’ provision and therefore not included in the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) or National Qualifications Framework (NQF). All students receive a BBSI award on successful completion of their course.

External Awards

Students who achieve a BBSI Vocational, University Foundation or Pre-Masters Higher-Certificate, Diploma, or Extended Diploma, will also receive certification from the national awarding body, NCFE. This also applies to students who successfully pass the full 8-week Communication & Business Skills course. For further information regarding NCFE, please see page 56, or refer to www.ncfe.org.uk for full details.

Academic Timetables

Lessons are timetabled Monday to Friday, in sessions of two 45-minute lessons, within the study periods detailed in the table opposite. Students receive a personal timetable on arrival at BBSI, and class times are published weekly within the school.

UK University Pathways

Since 1995, BBSI has helped place well over 400 of its successful students on degree courses at over 80 different universities in the UK, on a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Full details can be downloaded from our website at www.bbsi.co.uk. UK universities that have accepted BBSI graduates include: Aston Bath Bedfordshire Birmingham Bournemouth Bradford Brighton Bristol Buckingham Cambridge Cardiff Cardiff Metropolitan Central Lancashire Coventry Cranfield Derby Dundee Edinburgh Essex Exeter Glasgow

Greenwich Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh Hertfordshire Hull Imperial College Keele Kent Kent Institute King’s College London Kingston Lancaster Leeds Leeds Metropolitan Leicester Liverpool Liverpool John Moores London (City) London Metropolitan London School of Economics Loughborough Luton

Manchester Manchester Metropolitan Middlesex Napier Newcastle North London Northumbria Nottingham Nottingham Trent Oxford Brookes Plymouth Portsmouth Queen Margaret (Edinburgh) Queen Mary (London) Reading Royal Holloway Salford Sheffield Sheffield Hallam South Bank Southampton

Southampton Solent Stirling Stratford Strathclyde Sunderland Surrey Sussex Swansea Teesside Thames Valley University College London Wales (Bangor) Wales (Swansea) Warwick West of England (Bristol) Westminster Winchester York

Placement & Progression Counselling The BBSI Placement & Progression Service is available to students looking to secure either an undergraduate or postgraduate university place. Its aim is to help students to enter the best university to suit their needs, abilities and achievements. BBSI’s Placement & Progression Counsellor works closely with students to establish their academic needs, and to monitor their progress throughout their course. BBSI supports and guides students through every stage of choosing and applying to their university. The final choice of university, however, will depend on 3 factors – the grades the students achieve on their BBSI course, the final IELTS level attained, and the grades achieved during previous study at high school or university. Students on pathway courses (university foundation or pre-masters) can benefit from the following:

* * * * *

IELTS preparation academic study skills one-to-one counselling on the choice of universities attendance at talks from visiting university staff visits organised to university campuses

* assistance with the application procedure * assistance with handling correspondence with universities * guidance on writing a personal statement * guidance on preparing for an interview * additional certification, such as CMI, NCFE, etc

Additional Benefits Students can mix their subjects - ie they can study a term of one subject and then choose a term of another subject. Students can join BBSI throughout the year, not only on the main entry dates in September, October, January, March, May and July each year. This gives students extra flexibility to complete a pathway course in time for university entry. Some universities allow January entry for certain subjects.

The BBSI Guarantee All university foundation and pre-masters students who successfully complete their course are assured of a conditional offer of a UK university place on or before graduation from BBSI.

University Course Visa Requirements Visa students completing their BBSI university foundation or pre-masters courses and entering a degree course at a UK university will be required to apply for a new visa, and to achieve a minimum level of IELTS 5.5 in all 4 skills, or an equivalent score in TOEFL, TOEIC or Pearson PTE [Academic].

www.bbsi.co.uk

Optional External Examinations BBSI provides preparation for a range of both English language examinations and professional qualifications, which are detailed below. Examination preparation is an excellent way for students to add focus to their studies, leading to more rapid progress. Preparation for the following examinations is included in the course syllabus for many BBSI courses.

Examination Fees

The fees for external examinations are not included in the BBSI course fees. Full details of examination fees can be found on our website at www.bbsi.co.uk.

Vantage and BEC Higher. BBSI is an Authorised Preparation Centre for 2 levels of the examination, the BEC Vantage and the BEC Higher. BEC exams are linked to the CEFR for reference purposes. Both the BEC Vantage and the BEC Higher are ideal for students preparing for careers in the fields of international business and commerce, where a good knowledge of English is required to function effectively. BEC certificates are internationally recognised and demonstrate that the holder has acquired an appropriate standard in English in a professional context. The BEC examination can normally be taken 3 times per year. Examination dates are usually in March, May or June, and November each year. The Speaking & Listening test will generally take place in the 2 weeks either side of the main examination date.

Cambridge English: Financial (ICFE).§ BBSI is an

Cambridge English Language Assessment provides the world’s leading range of examinations for learners of English. Cambridge English examinations are recognised at some level in most non-English-speaking countries in the world for both employment and study purposes. BBSI is an Authorised Preparation Centre for specific Cambridge English examinations.

Cambridge English: First (FCE).§ The FCE is an Upper-

Intermediate level examination that indicates sufficient proficiency in English to be of practical use in clerical, secretarial and managerial jobs for example, or in the tourist industry, where contact with English speakers is required. FCE is also useful preparation for students working towards higher-level examinations, such as the CAE, ICFE, or ILEC. The FCE examination can normally be taken 5 times per year. Examination dates are usually in March, May, June, August and December each year. The Speaking & Listening test will generally take place in the 2 weeks either side of the main examination date.

Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE).§ The CAE is the

second highest level of Cambridge English examination and is ideal for those who want to work or study abroad. Students with a CAE certificate can earn up to 70 UCAS points towards their university application. A CAE certificate demonstrates language skills in a wide range of contexts. The examination is based on realistic tasks, and indicates the ability to use the language in practical situations, such as meetings and discussions. CAE is also useful preparation for students working towards higher-level examinations, such as the ICFE or ILEC. The CAE examination can normally be taken 4 times per year. Examination dates are usually in March, June, August and December each year. The Speaking & Listening test will generally take place in the 2 weeks either side of the main examination date.

Cambridge English: Business (BEC).§ There are 3 levels of BEC examination: the BEC Preliminary, BEC

26 54

Authorised Preparation Centre for the ICFE. The ICFE examination is prepared by Cambridge English Language Assessment in conjunction with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to meet the demand in helping students and professionals in finance to demonstrate that they have the financial English skills needed to communicate and converse with other accounting and finance professionals within the international business community. With the development of globally recognised international accounting standards and greater globalisation within the world of finance, successful candidates will have the opportunity to prove their linguistic ability, and to pursue international career opportunities. The ICFE examination can normally be taken twice per year. For students intending to undertake the optional ICFE examination, we would recommend a minimum of 8 weeks’ preparation prior to the examination date. Examination dates are usually in May and November each year. The Speaking & Listening test will generally take place in the 2 weeks either side of the main examination date.

Cambridge English: Legal (ILEC).§ The ILEC is

produced and assessed by Cambridge English Language Assessment in collaboration with TransLegal, Europe’s leading firm of lawyer-linguists. BBSI is an Authorised Preparation Centre for ILEC. English is an essential tool for any lawyer working with international matters, and employers need to know that the legal staff they appoint have a sufficient level of legal English to be able to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries. At the same time, law students and newly-qualified lawyers need to be able to show employers that they have the required language skills. The ILEC examination allows candidates to demonstrate their skills, and therefore to increase their employability. It is based on realistic texts, tasks and topics of the kind legal practitioners might meet in their daily working lives. For students intending to undertake the optional ILEC examination, we would recommend a minimum of 8 weeks’ preparation prior to the examination date. ILEC can normally be taken twice per year. Examination dates are usually in May and November each year. The Speaking & Listening test will generally take place in the 2 weeks either side of the main examination date.

IELTS is recognised as the language entry requirement by colleges and universities in most English-speaking countries worldwide. The test is jointly administered by Cambridge English Language Assessment, the British Council and IDP Education Australia. IELTS [Academic] is also accepted by many professional organisations, including the UK General Medical Council, the UK Ministry of Defence, the New Zealand Immigration Service, the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, and the Australian Medical Council. IELTS tests the complete range of Englishlanguage and study skills and will be commonly encountered by students studying or training in the medium of English. US academic institutions are increasingly accepting IELTS for admission purposes. Examination sittings are monthly in Bournemouth.

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the largest professional management institute in Europe. BBSI is a CMI Approved Training Centre and offers 2 CMI qualifications in First-Line Management. Depending on their selected BBSI study option, students can achieve the CMI Diploma, or where time is limited, they can achieve CMI Awards for those management modules successfully completed. The CMI elements of our courses are externally accredited to the standards of the Chartered Institute and are assessed by means of course work and assignments. The 8 CMI Management Modules required for award of the CMI Diploma are incorporated within the BBSI Management course syllabus. Normally a minimum study period of 16 weeks is required to complete all 8 units. CMI qualifications are widely accepted by employers internationally, and by major British universities.

ยง All examinations are subject to a minimum number of candidates. Should an examination centre not have sufficient candidates to run an examination, BBSI will endeavour to find an alternative location, although this cannot be guaranteed and additional fees may apply. BBSI cannot be held responsible for examination centres making changes to examination dates or times.

BBSI Professional Accrediting & Associated Bodies Professional Accrediting Bodies Accredited by the

BRITISH COUNCIL

for the teaching of English

The British Council, in partnership with English UK, forms a national accrediting body, AccreditationUK, for accredited schools, colleges and universities that provide English language courses. British Council inspectors carry out inspections every 4 years of those institutions that provide English language training of high quality. BBSI is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English. NCFE is recognised as an Awarding Organisation by Ofqual, the qualification regulators for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. NCFE accreditation gives assurance that the content of a training course is of a high standard and meets the rigorous quality assurance requirements of a national awarding organisation. NCFE accreditation also gives formal recognition to certain courses which result in the ‘award’ of a certificate of achievement. The NCFE certificate of achievement is not a nationally regulated qualification. The requirements specified in the National Quality Assurance ISO 9001 Standard are aimed primarily at achieving customer satisfaction. Management system certification stimulates a climate of confidence in the quality management procedures and practices that institutions apply in support of the services they provide. The ISO registration mark is an indication that BBSI meets the needs and expectations of its students in providing high quality and good value. Cambridge English Language Assessment examinations are the world’s leading range of certificates for learners of English. BBSI is an Authorised Preparation Centre for the following Cambridge English examinations: FCE, CAE, BEC, ICFE, ILEC and IELTS. Each year Cambridge English examinations are taken by over 2 million people, in 130 different countries. The examinations are well known for their high-quality assessment of real English, as used in everyday work, study and leisure situations. Cambridge English qualifications are widely recognised by employers and educational institutions worldwide. The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) promotes the art and science of management. CMI has a Royal Charter and is a nationally accredited organisation responsible for establishing standards of excellence in management and recognising that excellence through the award of professional qualifications.

BBSI offers tailored Aviation English training courses for pilots and ATCOs. Our courses conform to ICAO guidelines and are structured to meet the precise requirements of individual sponsors.

Course Content & Structure General English. The general English language elements aim to enhance confidence in all 4 language skills through extensive practice.

Aviation English. Training focuses on aviation language development in context. We include necessary elements of pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and interaction.

Practice activities include role-play, simulations, aircraft emergencies, bomb threats, alerts, contingency actions and special requests. We also utilise case studies and study audio of actual incident and occurrence reports, where poor English, or use of non-standard radio phraseology, was a contributing factor. Specialised Content. Specialist content includes a full inventory of events, domains and sub-domains that characterise the day-to-day communications of air traffic controllers and pilots. Functionality. Emphasis is placed on speaking and listening skills, with continual practice in context. We study authentic broadcasts and examples of aircraft emergencies that relate to non-routine radio phraseology, unusual requests and aircraft incidents. Testing

Corporate Training Courses Professional In-Country Short Courses & Seminars

In association with a network of experienced trainers and specialists in their fields, BBSI offers organisations worldwide, cutting-edge, aligned and competency-based training programmes on a wide range of topics, with special emphasis on current best practices and up-to-the-minute techniques. These short 3-10 day training programmes are designed to assist organisations in the implementation of strategies to enhance organisational performance and personnel skills among their staff.

Professional Short Training Programmes Management & Leadership Human Resource Management Project Management Customer Care & Public Relations Administration Contracts, Purchasing & Inventory Logistics & Transport Sales & Marketing Information Technology & Networking Hospitality Customer Service Management in the Medical Profession Coaching & Mentoring

Technical Courses: Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Maintenance & Reliability Instrumentation & Controls Electronics & Communication Contracts & Projects Oil & Gas Industry Petrochemical & Processes Health & Safety Civil & Construction Instrumentation & Process Control Once a client has provided BBSI with a detailed specification of their precise training requirements, we source specialist and experienced tutors to design and structure a 3-10 day training programme to meet the specified learning outcomes. The duration of the course will depend on the degree of specialisation and the amount of content to be included. The client will be responsible for providing suitable in-house or in-country training facilities, and also for meeting the costs of tuition fees, and the BBSI tutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses, ie international travel, food and accommodation and local travel.

Consultancy Services Performance & Training. BBSI provides consultancy services to organisations seeking to ensure that their training expenditure addresses shortfalls in the performance of their respective business, industry or public-sector organisation. As organisations grow more complex, it is

no longer safe to assume that individual, departmental or organisational performance problems can be corrected simply by training. The obstacle may not be the lack of skills or knowledge, it could be an unnoticed bottleneck in corporate communications, ineffective management behaviours, ineffective processes, an environment that inhibits motivation, or any one of many other diverse but interrelated factors. BBSI can assist organisations to assess the magnitude and likely reasons for shortfalls in performance, and recommend strategies for improvement that might involve innovative, creative and less costly solutions than merely to increase the training budget.

Human Performance Analysis. BBSI will examine a

clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organisational structure, management systems and processes, environmental elements, and people motivators and behaviours to determine which aspects are enhancing staff performance and which require change.

Competency & Skills Management. An organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

core competencies form the foundation for its strengths. Identifying the key abilities of working teams, the relevant job families and establishing important competencies will assist staff in developing individual expertise and skills. BBSI will assist clients to determine, manage and develop core and specific competencies and skills at all levels to improve overall performance in key areas.

Training & Performance Support. BBSI will assess the need for custom-designed learning environments and creative training solutions to provide clients with the overall performance results they require. Improvements develop exponentially over time, with dramatic results being achieved by involving the client in the design process. Performance Measurement. Once BBSI has assisted clients to establish effective training and performance systems, ongoing performance measurement by our specialist trainers and consultants ensures that an organisation is achieving the performance improvements it expects and provides clients with the information necessary to fine-tune the ongoing process of development.
