We can help to arrange study visas for International Students, but we require an initial fee of £2000. This is is the only time that we charge students a fee, and we do this as a legal requirement as a UK training entity.

Hampton Fund partners with industry leading software partners throughout the UK. They have successfully developed the skills of hundreds of international candidates over the years, and many have gone on to earn work permits, and to enter into full time positions working for companies here.

Hampton Fund CANNOT guarantee that any international candidate accepted onto its apprenticeship program will earn a work permit, or an entry visa. 

Many thousands of candidates have lived, worked and studied in the UK, from countries all around the world. Based in Croydon, minutes away from the centre London, we are an ideal place to live, study, and to develop your career in this, one of the world’s more exciting cities.

Our unique program for international candidates allows us to offer a provision for helping you gain, and in some cases extend, a study visa.

How the international program is different from the normal Hampton Fund program.

For any candidate who is able to work in the UK without restriction, the Hampton Fund program is free to join: we take payment once you are in work. However, nobody can be guaranteed a work permit if they are not already eligible to work within the UK.  Hampton fund WILL CHARGE A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT that covers a part of the tuition, in addition to asking for a smaller payment, should you then go on to find work here.

Mixed in-house, and online courses. You will be asked to conduct a significant part of your apprenticeship in-house in our offices here in Croydon during your visit to the UK. You will also be asked supplement this through private study, and online work and virtual projects.

As always, our goal is to focus on your employability, and as an international candidate you will have the same world-class training, unpaid work-experience, and support as any other candidate on the Career Partnership. You may refer to our Job Bank at any time to research opportunities throughout you apprenticeship.

Although we do not offer the “campus experience” or a university, Hampton Fund has created the “Career Partnership”. This allows you to gain real experience to put onto your CV. The Career Partnership can be used either as a substitute, a supplement, or follow-on to university education.

As one of the most exciting cities in the world, a year of study and living in London can provide one of the great growing and learning experiences in anybody’s life. In addition to the academic and commercial environment, the social, cultural and entertainment scenes are amongst the most varied and vibrant anywhere in the world.

We do not currently maintain halls of residence, but long term accommodation is readily available. For information, please mail information@hamptonfund.org

Enrolment is by selection only, and details may be found here XXXXX. Places are always limited, and so it is advisable to apply as soon as possible.
