Tour Extension

[green Man]

Hi need some advice on tour extension due to kids education, im based in cyprus and daughter is about to start gcse this year, she is doing a new engineering diploma which is pretty specialised, not many schools offer it, has anyone had any experience in getting a tour extension for to finish kids exams my tour finishes half way through course, we dont want to short tour if possible just want extra year, any advice would be great.

Go see the Chief Clerk and Education Centre (Do not know new terms). I extended back in 1998 for my daughters education. They look at this type of thing sympathetically, or at least they used to. Good luck.

Good luck to you if you can get it, last time I was there the norm would be short tour if your posting date was in the first year or a possibility of an extension if it's in the second year.

As the end of the day they would probably say that if your daughters education is that important to you then you shouldn't mind coming back early.

Fair enough comments, Diploma course is not offered in many schools yet so would have like to have daughter to do and complete this as she is very keen have applied so will sit back and wait

I think you'll find it's offered in more schools than you may think as more of them are signing up to it everyday. Biggest issue will be actually getting on a Diploma course as the uptake appears to be pretty high.

Sqn and chf clk are approving tour extension application, drafter has also said prefer to extend bods rather than short tour so looks like could be good news will be keeping fingers crossed.
