Additionally in 2004 it took over the former training facility of Marks and Spencer in Manchester Street, called Hannah House which the College occupies with its sister school, British Study Centres School of English. The College has been an Approved Learning Partner of Heriot-Watt University since 1992 offering tuition for Bachelors and Masters degrees and from 2012 to 2015 it was designated as the London Associate Campus of Heriot-Watt University.
