You can pick up your exam summary sheets from Goldhawk Road next week.

Dear students,
Just to let you know that there are some Health and Safety issues at the moment regarding the move to the new building in Holborn. For obvious reasons, we do not want the safety of staff or students to be at risk so next week, we will be at Goldhawk Road until further notice. I hope that this has not caused any inconvenience.
Thanks
Namita
Following a meeting with lecturers and students, we have devised a new timetable effective tomorrow, 27th Aug. You’ll see that we have added accounting for ICM and Hospitality Management. We will look into possibly opening another accounting class. Also, have added another class for Economics as requested by some students.
Dear ABE and ICM students,
Just a reminder that classes are being held at Uxbridge Road until this Friday. As of 1st September, we’ll be located at 1 Catton Street, Holborn. The new building is just behind the current one. If you have any queries, email me at namitakhokhlacheva@googlemail.com

This is the proposed timetable for this week. We will be adding accounting for ICM students following a meeting tomorrow and will let you know what has been decided asap.

Hello all ABE and ICM students,
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Namita Kapila and have replaced Jeff Papis as Course Co-ordinator for ABE and ICM. I would like to welcome you to this new term and hope to reassure those of you who have any concerns, that we will do our best to solve any issues that you have.
Firstly, a handful of you have queried the change of location from Goldhawk Road to Holborn. The new building is much bigger and therefore, will better suit the needs of all our business students.
Secondly, I know that you’re eager to know the new timetable effective from 26th August which you will be receiving this weekend but we won’t be making too many changes so as not to disrupt your own timetables.
Also, some students’ memberships may have expired so please check if your memberships are due. For ICM students, those reminders are together with exam entries.
Finally, for next week only, classes will be held at 54 Uxbridge Road in Shepherd’s Bush (5 minutes from Goldhawk Road) while the new building is being cleaned.
I look forward to seeing you next week when I begin and wish you all the best of luck!
Kind regards,
Namita Kapila
Dear Students of Tourism and Management
It was good to see so many of you for the meeting today at Goldhawk. On behalf of the school, there are several points which we would like to make about the issues raised in Tuesday’s meeting.
Regarding the lack of class until August 26th
a) Tourism
Firstly, we want to say that it is worth waiting to get the right person. It is unfortunate that our new teacher had a one month notice period on her job, and that Jeff’s new job was not confirmed for certain for some time, but we know that Nam will be a great course leader, and that overall, despite any short term issues, it is better to provide you with a quality teacher than to fill the gap immediately with someone average. We appreciate that for some students this causes inconvenience, but it is unfortunately inevitable when we lose someone as key to the course as Jeff that there will be a period of restructuring.
b) ABE
We will continue to run the ABE course from August 11th in Goldhawk Road in the following way;
Selva will continue to teach the same timetable as previously.
Vee will teach the same classes as he did in the afternoon in the previous term, i.e. he will not run his morning class.
This will continue until the classes are moved to Holborn at a later point.
The change to Holborn
The new building in Holborn is large, and will offer you the same facilities as in Goldhawk but in a more modern location. We understand that some people have restructured their lives around the location of the management school, but I should remind you of the following facts:
1. the school, in its terms and conditions, reserves the right to host its courses in any of its locations, and especially the locations it deems most suitable for the courses.
2. for students with visas, your priority is the course of study rather than work commitments. We understand that many students need to work to help support themselves in London, but it is inevitable that you must fit your working life around your studies, and not vice versa.
Compensation of lost hours
The school fully intends to provide “catch up” classes for the material missed over the coming weeks- this will be arranged by Nam, the incoming course director.
Your individual concerns
We do want to help in any way we can. Several of you have approached me with questions and concerns, and I encourage anyone who has either to approach me directly (rob@the-englishstudio.com /07876202394) or to ask any questions regarding course structure to Nam: namitakhokhlacheva@googlemail.com
Jeff Papis
On Behalf of Rob King
