Tier 4 sponsors whose status appeared as revoked from 2010 to 2014

Published 5 January 2015

The attached information shows a list of Tier 4 Sponsors whose status appeared as “revoked” on our records during period 1 May 2010 to 7 October 2014.

Please note that the revocation of an educational establishment’s sponsor licence removes its ability to recruit students from outside the European Economic Area. It does not prevent it from operating or close it down.

Some previously revoked sponsors will appear on the current register of licensed sponsors where, for example: the licence has been reinstated; the sponsor successfully re-applied to join the register; or the business has been sold/taken over and a new licence obtained. The revocation of a licence is not a definite indication that a sponsor acted dishonestly or was a threat to immigration control.
