Transport will be provided to and from the airport by minibus. There is an excellent bus and train service in Stafford to all areas of the country and it is recommended that all participants purchase a strip of 10 tickets (multi-rider tickets) for journeys to and from the work experience placement. 

Examination & Certification 
You will need to complete a brief initial language assessment to check your level of English at the start of the placement in order to measure your progress during your placement. You will be required to complete all assignments and to maintain a portfolio of your work. A final assessment will be carried out at the end of your placement and will be based mainly on course work. Upon successful completion you will be awarded a certificate of achievement. 

Induction Pack 
You will be given an induction pack upon arrival. This will give full details of all local facilities, events, opening & closing times, health registration forms, timetables, work experience diary, certificate (upon completion of course) and a reference (upon completion of course). If you need anything at any time, you only have to ask one of us – we’re happy to help. 

Weather 
The weather in Central England is generally mild. In winter, there can be some snow and so you should bring warm clothing and sensible shoes at this time of year. Summers are normally warm and sunny but you should be prepared for occasional rain. 

Recreation & Free Time 
Stafford has all of the usual amenities you would expect in a large town such as cinema, theatre, bowling, night clubs and a good shopping centre. There are all sorts of clubs and groups to join in and around the area and the local leisure centre has swimming, tennis, keep-fit, badminton and other sporting facilities. There are dozens of great excursions too - visit the Capital, London (1½ hrs) or Britain's second largest city, Birmingham (½ hr), Stratford-on-Avon (William Shakespeare's birthplace) or maybe nearby Wales, to mention just a few.
