Individually designed study programmes in the heart of Oxford
By Benjamin Llewelyn, Principal and Director, Oxford International Study Centre We are pleased to be members of ABCC and would like to introduce ourselves. We are Oxford International Study Centre, an independent tutorial college and language school, situated in the very centre of Oxford, surrounded by the Colleges of the University. The college was established in 2006, and its directors are Benjamin Llewelyn MA (Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford) and MA (Bristol), whose 44 | ARAB-BRITISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

They have both worked in international education for many years, and Carolyn Llewelyn has won international awards for her work. OISC (and its training division OICT, which is mentioned below) is accredited

We are also members of COBIS (the Council for British International Schools), NAFSA (the Association of International Educators), EAIE (the European Association for International Education), EATP (the European Association of Training Providers) and ECIS (the Educational Collaborative for International Schools). Our programmes for teachers are recognised by the EU Erasmus Plus initiative.
