Dorking, at the foot of the Surrey Hills, is a small, peaceful town known for its antique shops, vineyards and walking spots such as Box Hill. With schools such as Box Hill School, it suits programs for young people in particular.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Dorking. Programs at schools in Dorking and language schools in nearby Guildford and London are among the options.
In Dorking you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. For programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 2-3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For the visa application, the school's acceptance letter, proof of payment, bank statements, accommodation details and evidence of ties to Turkey (work, school or family) are important. Long-term and academic programs use a Student visa application based on the CAS issued by the school.
Working in breach of visa rules can have serious consequences, such as visa cancellation and refusal of future applications. NGGlobal helps you plan a realistic budget for the course and living costs.
Accommodation in Dorking is usually in schools' boarding houses or with host families in the area.

Direct flights from Istanbul to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN) take about 4 hours; the train from London takes about an hour.
Because the UK uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Dorking is 2 hours behind Turkey in summer and 3 hours behind in winter. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 09:00 in Dorking in winter and 10:00 in summer.
You can decide with NGGlobal which school, course and type of accommodation suit you best. We follow the whole process for you, from application and visa to arrival.
