Course outline:
Basic Compliance Assessments (BCAs) remain a fundamental part of theΒ StudentΒ sponsor regime and a key measure of a school’s compliance performance. From June 2026, Student sponsors are subject to significantly tighter compliance thresholds and a new Red-Amber-Green (RAG) rating framework, increasing the importance of effective monitoring and early intervention.Β
With higher expectations around visa refusal rates, enrolment rates and course completion rates, schools have less margin for error than under theΒ previousΒ framework. Understanding how these metrics are measured,Β monitoredΒ and assessed is now critical for Student sponsor licence holders.Β
ThisΒ webinarΒ will examine the revised BCA requirements, the practical implications of the new thresholds and rating system, and the steps schools can take toΒ identifyΒ risks,Β monitorΒ performanceΒ and maintain compliance throughout the assessment period.Β
