Arrivals and Departures
Most Embassy CES students arrive by air and a few by coach, ferry or Eurostar. Groups will be met by our Airport Co-ordinators to ensure a smooth transfer from the point of arrival to the centres. Most centres have arrivals and departures every weekend and on some weekdays.
All transfers will be organised and co-ordinated by the Embassy CES Summer Transport Supervisor. Airport Co-ordinators will assist the Transport Supervisor with transfers at various arrival points within the UK. Most of the Airport Co-ordinators will remain at the airports on Saturdays and Sundays to assist the Transport Supervisor in co-ordinating transfers effectively.
Airport Co-ordinators will be based at arrival/departure points, e.g. Gatwick or Heathrow, on the arrival days. They are directly responsible for meeting incoming groups or seeing departing groups off.
Airport Co-ordinators may be required to assist the Activity staff supervise students on London Tours and on activities and to provide office cover during less busy periods.
