FAQ
- Does the school need designated learning institution status?If international students require study permits, verify the school’s current provincial designation, approved locations and programs. Confirm whether a change of ownership affects its DLI number, reporting duties or recruitment pipeline.
- What unearned tuition must the language school still deliver?Reconcile enrolments, deposits, prepaid tuition, commissions, scholarships, refunds and deferred starts by student. Estimate the teaching and administrative cost needed to complete every active term under existing policies.
- How dependent is enrolment on agents and specific countries?Break down starts, cancellations, commissions and visa refusals by agent, country, program and intake. Review agent agreements and sanctions screening, then stress-test revenue if one recruitment channel weakens.
- Will qualified teachers remain available?Compare scheduled classes with teacher contracts, credentials, work authorization, availability and pay rates. Identify programs or languages relying on one person, and test whether promised class sizes remain economical.
- Can curriculum, tests and teaching platforms transfer?Confirm ownership of lesson plans, recordings, assessments and brand materials. Review publisher, testing-body and learning-platform licences for assignment, location limits, user counts, renewal costs and secure post-closing access.
- What student-data controls should you inspect?Review consent, retention, access and breach procedures for passports, immigration documents, assessments and payment data. Confirm the systems support lawful transfer, secure deletion and required reporting after ownership changes.
