Prepare to Relocate

Do all expats develop culture shock? Is there any way of dealing with it? The answers to the questions are that not everyone develops culture shock, and that expats who prepare for their relocation also will be prepared to deal with culture shock should they develop it.

This module is build as a practical briefing on what to expect just before and after an actual relocation.  In the process you will get relocation tips and important planning tools that will help you and your family prepare to leave your home country and settle in the UK.

Settle With Success

The Settle with Success section provides guidelines and ideas to how you and your family can arrive and settle with as few problems as possible. You will amongst other things learn:

1The best way to prepare for a move with your children

2The most efficient methods of staying in touch with friends and family

3Easy ways of integrating in your new town or city

Together with the plans you will learn to create in the section Plan Your Success in the Prepare to Relocate section, you will be well underway to settling and integrating into the British society.

The School System

To many expats obtaining relevant information relating to the differences in school systems and choosing the right school for their children can be an often surprisingly big task.

In many countries the process is made simple because they only have one school structure and one national curriculum. In the UK, however, you have a large mix of private and public schools where the curriculum can be as different as the teaching methods they employ.

This very comprehensive section is designed to give expats an insight in the different options you have within England's Educational System and help them make the right choices.

All Things Practical

Can it be true that the rental price of a studio flat in central London is higher than rental price of a four bed house in the North East England? Do two pints of milk that were produced by the same farm cost the same in two British towns?

The vast All Things Practical section gives you an insight into many of the practical aspects of life in the UK. The section includes topics such as house hunting, cost of living, banking and money matters, taxes, immigration, bringing your pets, etc.
