Nikkei Education to deliver Abbey-DLD International Foundation Course

The Alpha Plus Group is delighted to announce a partnership with Hong Kong based, Nikkei Education, to deliver the International Foundation Course in Business and Management.

The International Foundation Course is a one year pre-university course for 17 year olds developed by the Abbey-DLD Group of Colleges and accepted for entry by a wide range of British universities.

The International Foundation Course is already delivered at the Abbey-DLD Group of Colleges and is a highly successful and popular programme.

Following this partnership, Nikkei Education will now deliver the Business version of this course from next September at their campus in Hong Kong.

The Alpha Plus Group will act as the consultants for the delivery of the course and will undertake all examining as well as providing quality control.

The course is accredited by NCFE.

The International Foundation Course will be particularly valued in Hong Kong where students now leave secondary school at 17+ (instead of 18+) and therefore require such a course to qualify for many leading British universities.

Graham Able, CEO of the Alpha Plus Group said:

“Delivering this course ‘in country’ is a new departure for Alpha Plus and is a very exciting development for us. We are delighted to be working with Nikkei Education on what we are sure will be a highly successful programme.”

Richard Purchase, Director of Colleges at the Alpha Plus Group, said:

“This new programme will form the first stage of a series of initiatives we will be taking to expand the provision of this popular programme.

“The students who take the course will find it an excellent way to secure the qualifications they need to enter the very best British universities, something we have tremendous experience of already in our Abbey DLD Group of Colleges.”
