EF International Language Campuses - UK/Ire Liability Waiver Form & Guardian Consent for Students Aged 16 and 17 on an Adult Course

EF International Language Campuses provide language training. The courses are designed for students aged 16 years or older who generally enrol on an individual basis. Students usually travel independently from their home country, with optional EF transfers from the airport to chosen accommodation; students who travel independently must carry a signed letter UK entry permission - to allow them to pass through immigration. We recommend EF transfers be booked for all 16 and 17 year olds.

Once in the course town students will travel independently to and from school, living in homestay or student residence accommodation selected and arranged by EF staff.

Students will also travel unsupervised to and from social events, which may mean travelling on public transport between the hours of 22.00 and midnight.

In homestay half board is included during the week and all meals are provided during the weekend; lunches during the week may be purchased from the school cafeteria. In residential accommodation the meal plan varies according to the residence booked, please double-check the EF publicity material for full details or discuss with the sales office. Many residences are self-catering and EF recommends that you choose at least the half board option, wherever possible in residence, for your child. If you do not choose this option, you understand that your child will need to cater for themselves, which means buying all food and drink essentials, and independently cooking and cleaning up. Full board options are also available for this age group if required, so should you wish to make this arrangement please let the EF sales office know.

EF provides recommended curfew times, in homestay and residence, as follows: Sunday to Thursday 23.00 hrs, Friday and Saturday 24.00 hrs. However, as parents/legal guardians you should be informed that EF does not provide direct supervision when students are not in class. In order for the student to get the most out of their EF programme we want to make sure he/she is mature enough to be able to adjust to a different culture and display a level of independence that is appropriate for such a programme. It is preferable that the student has traveled abroad in the past.

To help ensure the safety and well-being of our customers EF requests all students to carefully read and follow the regulations set out in the document termed Student Code of Conduct. This can be found at MyEF, our online campus. Students will receive the URL, username and password after booking a course. For more detailed information about your destination and chosen language destination, please read the information provided on MyEF and in the Pre-Departure document provided by your sales office prior to departure.

On arrival at school we take photographs of students to help staff easily identify them and in order to produce their EF student cards. It is also sometimes necessary to provide photographs for external examinations. Occasionally we put photographs of students enjoying EF activities on our social media pages. By signing this document, you are agreeing to allow EF staff to take and use such photographs of your son/daughter.
