We will acknowledge your application within 24 hours (Monday to Friday). The School will only issue the confirmation of acceptance upon receipt of full course fees.
Full course and visa fees must be received four weeks before the start of the course to allow time for visa processing. If the payment is received less than four weeks before the start of the course, the school cannot guarantee the visa will be issued in time and the start date may be deferred. Fees can be paid by cash, cheque, credit card or bank transfer. Bank charges for sending and receiving banks are payable by the sender. Payments by credit card are subject to a surcharge of 3%.
It may be possible to defer the start date of your course if necessary; however, if the visa has already been issued, the dates of the visa cannot be changed and may not coincide with the start and end of your course.
Student Visitor Visas under the school’s sponsorship are single entry, and only available for courses longer than 90 days. The Student Visitor Visa can be automatically extended within the UAE for a further 90 days, for a total overall period of 180 days.
Students shall remain under the school’s sponsorship as long as they are enrolled in a full-time study programme, and cannot be sponsored after they have completed their studies. The Student Visitor Visa is automatically cancelled upon exit of the UAE, and it is the student’s responsibility not to exceed the total number of days as per his/her visa. The student shall be liable for any fines arising due to overstaying and/or failure to leave.
The School will endeavour to process short-term Student Visitor Visas within ten working days if the student is outside of the UAE, and within 15 working days if the student is already in the UAE. Students changing their status from another visa category such as tourist, employment, or employee residence should be mindful of having sufficient time left in their existing visas as they may incur in fines if there are any delays in the issuance of the new visa. Any charges arising from such delays are payable by the student.
Visas for students enrolled in short courses will be processed under the Tourist Visa category and the processing time is five working days.
Students are legally required to attend their classes and maintain a minimum attendance of 80% per month. Students whose attendance falls below 70% will be given a verbal warning, followed by a written warning. Students whose attendance continues to be under the required percentage may be reported to immigration. If a student does not attend the class for a period longer than two weeks, and/or has failed to provide a suitable explanation for their continued absence said students may be reported as absconded. Absconded students will have their immigration file blacklisted, and shall incur a 5,000 AED fine as well as any additional fines imposed by the immigration office or related authorities.
Students who arrive late for class cause considerable disruption to the learning of other students. The consequences of lateness for the student are:
If a student arrives more than fifteen minutes after a lesson has started, he/she will be recorded as late for the lesson, and it will be recorded as an ‘L’ on the attendance sheet. Once the student accumulates three (3) L’s, they are recorded as one unexcused absence.
Courses
Levels start every 6 weeks, but students are permitted to join ongoing courses any Monday. All courses include a free entry assessment prior to arrival, as well as regular biweekly progress tests. Student progress will be recorded regularly and an academic assessment will be provided together with the completion certificate, at the end of their studies.

We highly value the safety and the wellbeing of our students, so we invite you to carefully read the following rules for a smooth co-living experience.

If you do not respect the rules, the hotel and school will issue warnings. If you have more than two warnings, you will have to leave the hotel within 24 hours. No refund will be provided in such cases.

In case of unregistered occupants in the room, they will be immediately evicted from the accommodation. All the students registered in that room will be held responsible and receive a 1000AED fine that will be deducted from their accommodation booking or the course.
ES Dubai is not responsible for any actions taken by the hotel if you don’t follow the rules or for any other problems during your stay.
ES has zero tolerance policy when it comes to the safety and legality of our students. Any of the following behaviours will not be tolerated:
Any student involved in gross misconduct will have to leave the hotel within 24 hours. No refund will be provided in such cases. Gross misconduct is a serious crime in the UAE and it will lead to legal consequences with local authorities too.
Tampering with fire alarms, fire extinguishers, or smoke detectors is a serious offense and gross misconduct as it compromises public safety. Intentionally disabling or interfering with these safety devices can result in criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment as well as immediate eviction from the accommodation within 24 hours with no refund.

The extension will be confirmed when the total payment is done (at least 2 weeks before the check-out date). We reserve the right, at our discretion, to decline any extension requests.
