ACADEMY OF LEARNING is a DFES registered private training provider accredited with The Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) and The Oxford Cambridge & RSA (OCR) awarding body to deliver a complete range of Management, Health & Social Care, Customer Service and associated qualifications.

ACADEMY OF LEARNING is both the lead and active participants in a number of EUROPEAN Social Fund and Learning Skills Council projects.

As part of its growth strategy ACADEMY OF LEARNING has recently concluded a supplier agreement with Anglia Ruskin University to identify candidates for undergraduate and post graduate courses offered by their Institute of Health & Social Care and the Michael Ashcroft International Business School. The agreement is global but is initially focused on the Philippines and Dubai .

One of the first initiatives is the recruitment of Filipino nurses who possess a valid Filipino nursing degree to study in the UK with Anglia for either a BSc (Hons) in Health & Social Care or a BSc (Hons) in Mental Health Nursing Practice.

The Filipino nursing degree contributes 240 credits towards the 360 credits required for the Anglia degrees.

The study package is of the blended version requiring an induction, a number of workshops, self study and a work placement which forms part of the assessment. The programme is expected to be completed within 18 months.

On the basis of the course of study, as above, and a formal offer from Anglia a student visa application is submitted which allows for the student to have a work placement in excess of 20 hrs per week. The visa application also requires certain conditions from the candidates including some form of financial guarantee and confirmation of full payment of the course and travel fees.

The student visa will initially be for a period of 2 years.

AOL will identify and engage an employer for the work placement.

The employer will enter into an employment contract with the candidate in the normal way however the contract will be linked to and be conditional upon the employer, the candidate and AOL entering into a formal learning agreement which will specify the commitment of all three parties to the agreed course of study.
