For EngXcel, our students' welfare is of the utmost importance, inside or outside the classroom. Find out about the policies we have in place and the things we do to support students during their time with us - in particular our younger students travelling alone.
We do everything we can to work with students to make sure their trip is as smooth as possible. Whilst most visits go without a problem, unfortunately sometimes things do go wrong - it's the same wherever you travel, even at home. So we strongly encourage students to have comprehensive travel insurance in place for their trip. To help out, all our full-time courses come with free insurance included! Find out more about what it covers.
