Norland awarded full Student Sponsor licence, enhancing opportunities for international students

Norland is proud to announce that it has officially been awarded the status of Student Sponsor with a Track Record of Compliance by the UK government, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to supporting international students. 

The designation by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) confirms that Norland meets the highest standards of compliance and responsibility in sponsoring international students under the UK’s Student visa route. The award, following four years of close monitoring by the UKVI to ensure we upheld the compliance requirements, allows Norland to continue welcoming students from around the world to access its world-renowned training. 

From 15 August 2025, international students granted visas to study at Norland will benefit from enhanced work rights, including permission to work up to 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during vacations. Students will also be able to complete all work placements as well as take on voluntary work. They will also be able to apply for a Graduate visa to allow them to stay in the UK to undertake their fourth year in a probationary post as a Newly Qualified Nanny. This change not only supports students financially but also provides valuable opportunities to gain further practical experience in the UK’s early years sector. 

Norland’s dedicated Student Visa Manager ensures that every student receives tailored guidance throughout the visa application process. From issuing the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to supporting students with documentation and compliance, Norland is committed to making the transition to UK study as smooth as possible.
