5. About Us
History
British Study Centres was founded in the 1930's by Joseph Cleaver, grandfather of our
current Chairman and Chief Executive, Simon Cleaver. To this day, the Company remains
a resolutely 'family' firm, privately owned and managed by Simon and his family.
In the early days the Company concentrated on correspondence courses and as such was
a precursor to the Open University which grew up in the 1960's. The Company grew
quickly, establishing offices and examination centres across the entire (then)
British Empire and beyond and in the process becoming the UK's largest group of
correspondence colleges.
In recent years the Company has been honoured to win a number of awards associated
with the language school industry, including twice winner of Study Travel Magazine's
coveted 'Star' English Language School Europe award (in 2010 and 2012) and winner of
Study Travel Magazine's 'Star' Junior Courses for under 18-s (in 2012).
British Study Centres is accredited by the British Council for the Teaching of English as a
Foreign Language. British Study Centres is registered as a Highly Trusted Sponsor by the
UK Border Agency and is a member of both English UK and ALTO
(the Association of Language Travel Organisations).

6. About Us
Our Chosen Charity:
The Hotcourses Foundation
Helping HIV + Orphans in Africa
The Hotcourses Foundation was set up in 2004 to help fund the education of HIV+ children
in the developing world whose access to education is limited or non-existent.
British Study Centres School of English and its parent organisation, British Study Centres,
try to do what they can to help by making annual donations to the Foundation.
Our objective is to make a measurable, tangible difference to the lives of children in some
of the poorest parts of the world. Initially we have focused on AIDS-orphans in Kenya,
providing money to fund their education and provide school uniforms and related resources.
The Hotcourses Foundation is particularly proud of the primary school it built in Kitui,
eastern Kenya, which came top in recent assessments of schools in the area.
We are now building our second school in the region.
What Can You Do to Help?
You can help us to help these vulnerable children and young adults by signing up to
become a sponsor. You can either sign up for a monthly payment, make a one-off lifetime
donation or make a general donation to the Foundation.

10. Online Courses
How Does It Work? Live Online Lessons myBSC
Our online courses consist of two main
components – live lessons during which you
interact with your teacher and fellow students,
and guided self-study delivered via our e-learning
platform. In addition, you can book
private lessons to focus on your personal
learning needs. At the end of the course you
will receive a BSC certificate and progress
report.
Lessons are delivered via a powerful video
conferencing platform Adobe® Connect™. All
you need is a compatible computer or mobile
device with Internet connection. You don't
have to download any software – we will just
send you a link which takes you directly to the
online classroom. Lessons are held every week
at a specified time with a maximum of 4 or 8
students in each class.
In addition to the live lessons with our
teachers, you will receive access to myBSC, our
learning platform with a wide range of
additional study material. Here you will be able
to continue studying at your own speed in your
free time. Your teacher will also set homework
through the system and will be able to monitor
your progress.
