What “Track Record” status means for you
Norland College holds Student Sponsor – Track Record status, the strongest rating on the register. It is given to sponsors with a sustained history of immigration compliance and low visa refusal rates. In practice this can work in your favour: track-record sponsors are permitted to assess your English language ability themselves rather than requiring a Secure English Language Test, and applicants sponsored by them are more often placed under the differentiation arrangements, which means financial and qualification documents may not need to be submitted up front. You must still genuinely meet every requirement — the Home Office can ask for the evidence at any point.

Money you need to show for a course at Norland College
Norland College sits outside London, so the lower maintenance figure applies: £1,171 per month for up to nine months (a maximum of £10,539), plus one academic year of tuition fees. That is £13,761 − £10,539 = £3,222 less than a London course requires. See the financial requirements guide for the 28-day rule and which accounts qualify.
Those are the funds you must hold, separate from what you pay: the visa application costs £558 and the Immigration Health Surcharge £776 for each year of your course. Work out your own total with the fee calculator.
