IN CASE OF ILLNESS

It’s worth bringing some medicines from Poland with you, e.g. for cold, flu, pain, runny nose or cough. However, it’s not going to protect you against illness so if you feel sick, the first thing you should do is to call your teacher. He/she will tell you what to do in such a situation (who you should call, where to go). Remember that you have health insurance, so when you are sick don’t wait until you are back to Poland. And if you feel so bad that you can’t go to work but still not so bad to go to the doctor, call your teacher and he/she will tell you what to do.

CLIMATE

English people differ from polish people in the way they are heating the houses (our host had radiators but they were always cold) so you should prepare for a low temperatures during the night. We suggest that you should take warm pyjamas and socks to not freeze during the night. English people got used to to such temperatures but for you it will be too cold. During the day the outside temperature is higher than in Poland, so don’t expect the winter because it doesn’t snow there, not to mention freezing temperatures. However, you should remember that the United Kingdom is rainy land and it’s worth to take umbrella and raincoat.

CONTACT

It’s a crucial point for a people going abroad, including apprentices. It’s important to have fully charged mobile phone when you are in Poland but while you are abroad it is the most important thing. You never know what may happen and that is why you should always have your mobile phone and the list of the most important contacts with you. In case you are lost, you don’t know how to get somewhere, you have some problems or you feel sick and you are in the center or just somewhere away from home, it’s good to have phone number to the people you live with or what is the most important, to your teachers. You should take into account the fact that if you want to make a call when you are abroad, you need to activate roaming. You need to also know that package of minutes that you bought in Poland won’t be valid abroad so you should buy a telephone card when you are in England.

LONDON

The trip to London was great but during such a tour you should remember about a few things. Namely: London is the very crowded city (really, really crowded) so is’s easy to lost yourself and you need to be careful. After all, there are many opportunities to take the pictures so you should charge your phone or camera before the trip or to take a powerbank if you have one. REMEMBER! Pickpockets are everywhere and Englan is not an exception. Watch out your bags, backpacks and phones.

CULTURE

During a stay in England you will certainly notice the cultural differences, especially in speaking. Tray to use the words like thank you or sorry as often as it is possible because they really value politeness. When people get in the buses, they always say good morning, good evening or just hi. Your teacher will probably tell you about it but it’s better to know it earlier to prepare yourself. Your host will probably give you the basic information, e.g. what time is a dinner. Try to inform your family when you are not going to be at dinner.

DOCUMENTS

The most important are documents!
You have to watch them like a hawk.
You can not be beaten and especially in London or at the airport.
This is very important!

The needest documents before departure :
👉 PASSPORT
👉 BANK ACCOUNT

Documents that will get (are very important too):
👉 PLANE TICKETS
👉 INSURANCE
👉 AGREEMENT
👉 BUS TICKETS
👉 MAP OF CITY
👉 HANDBOOK OF PRACTICES

You need to watch out for thieves because they are everywhere.
Do not keep all your money in one place.
Keep documents always with you and do not replace the tickets.
This is very important!

TEACHERS

If we had any problems, concerns, we always need teachers,
who are going with us specifically to help.At the meetings in the hotel solved our problems of sore subjects, all the dissatisfaction and other matters or arrangements.If you are with yourself righteous care about good atmosphere and creates a pleasant atmosphere with teachers is all too easily determined.Teachers and people from the company Vision Training was very helpful for us were settling all work agreements, accommodation so it is worthwhile to respect and appreciate, because it is a very important part :-).

CHANGE SIDES

England associate with the fact that there is a left-hand traffic,
at first it may be hard to move, it can even happen that we stand at the bus stop, where buses will go in a different direction than we intended.
Fortunately, the English are already prepared for it and stocked the streets in subtitles "look right" and "look left" so that we can immediately react, which way to look crossing the street.
Cars drive there rather quiet, there is a little different than ours, no rat race, living there and slowly goes there slower and quieter.
Regarding bus stops you just have to remember that the direction is opposite to ours, fortunately you go quickly get used to simply watch as buses move and there should not be any problem!
After all, we encourage you to be careful on the streets, because forewarned is forearmed;-)

AIRPLANE

The plane is good to stock up on chewing gum and headphones for the sake of changing the pressure may become clogged ears can be natural, too, that we hear the effect of "whistling in the ears."Do not worry about it!
The way to this may also be nasal congestion and pushing the air, ears should then unclog.Many people may feel anxiety and fear because they are flying for the first time but dont worry , that's normal felling because we'r doing something first time in our life and is something new for us.
On the plane we have a professional service, which is prepared for different situations, we are basically trained in what to do in specific situations, the crew shows exactly where the emergency exits, oxygen masks, such as seat belts etc.However, you should not worry, and immediately put the black scenario, air travel is a cool experience and interesting experience :-)During the flight the plane, turn off cell phones or turn on flight mode by which also you will be informed by the crew of aircraft.
The least pleasant part of the flight can be booting or landing as the plane reaches huge speeds and to stopneeds a lot of power, which can be uncomfortable, but the flight itself is quite comfortable, almost did not feel that the flies.You can at this time to admire the clouds, to order something to eat (which is not recommended, because there is very expensive) plane can not bring unfortunately their food or drink only bought at the airport in the appropriate places for this purpose, or just listen to music and read a newspaper , books.
Flying for the first time we can say that the airplane flight is complete "departure" of the Earth daily :-)
