68. In 2011, approximately 900 inspections were carried out on Tier 4 sponsors—half of which were unannounced.. In the same period, 88 sponsors were found to be breaking the terms of their licence and had their licences revoked for non-compliance. The 88 institutions had issued 26,500[89] confirmation of acceptance letters, which allow the recipient to apply for a visa, in 2011 alone.[90] This figure equates to just over 10% of the net migration figure (to June 2011) which was 250,000.[91]

Just because a college has lost its licence doesn't mean it is a bogus college' and just because a college has lost its license doesn't mean that every Cas it has issued is 'fraudulent'
