I’m a British passport holder and want to set up a 1 year ED visa, can someone message me about prices and details.

Phuket based.
Answer summary
To obtain a one-year Education (ED) visa in Thailand as a British passport holder, you will need to apply through a school that offers the program you intend to study. The school must provide supporting documentation for your application. Although it is possible to handle the application process yourself with the school's assistance, ensuring you have all the required documents is essential. The comments highlight that costs are typically associated with the school fees, and further specific requirements can be found on the Thai immigration website.

You do it with support from the school you wish to study at. They need to supply documentation to support your application, and with that it's relatively easy to do yourself.

What visa if any are you currently on?

That's good, as it means you should be able to convert to an ED visa without leaving Thailand, but you do need 15 days left on your current stamp to do so. If you haven't yet got the 30 day extension you can use that to buy the required time
