Studying part time

Post by TheGreenTea » Thu Apr 18, 2013 8:56 am

Does anybody know what are the rules on studying part time while you are on Tier 2?
My employer wants me to do MBA!
All I could find is this:
The only work that you can do is:
- the job described in your certificate of sponsorship, working for your sponsor; and
- a supplementary job in the same sector and at the same level, or in a job on the shortage occupation list, for up to 20 hours per week (see 'More information' below); and
- voluntary work (see 'More information' below).

Thank you!

193. You can study if you wish. There is no limit on the number of hours you can study or
the type or level of course, provided this does not interfere with the job you have been
sponsored to do. You can study anywhere you choose and you do not have to study with a
sponsor registered under Tier 4 of the points-based system.

This is from the tier 2 guidance on ukba website.
Pl try to read it and i hope u will get better solution.
All the best
