UKVI (Home Office) have re-started College suspensions - 2015

Over the December holiday period, the Home Office (UKVI), paused on sending out curtailment letters and processing revocations from all indications.

To date 1st March 2015, there are 21 Colleges listed as being SUSPENDED.

The twenty first college being St. Patrick's International College, who received their suspension for both Tier 4 and Tier 2 licenses on 19th February 2015 for various breaches in Compliance and from the article on Times Higher Education, they have also seemingly breached the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) regulations - click here and here to read more on this breaking story.

This signals that the Home Office (UKVI), have re-started their process on inspecting Tier 4 licensed colleges.

One expects to see further Tier 4 license suspensions and revocations happening shortly.
