2. SPANISH COURSES

2.1. Distribution of levels

 

2.1.1. Distribution of courses and levels is the responsibility of the teaching team, who, taking into account the test, interview and language needs of the student, will decide where the student will be placed. Levels and distribution will be established on the first Monday of the course, after the interview and the test -this means that you will begin in your appropriate group at 11:50 the same morning.

2.1.2. These decisions will be made on strictly academic criteria. The maximum number of students per group is 6, but exceptionally, and with the unanimous approval of all participants, this number could be increased.

2.1.3. Since the aim of the academic directorate is to arrange study groups at the highest level possible while maintaining the minimum number of students within the group, it may happen that a group consists of one student only. Such being the case, the student who attends an intensive language course will receive half of the classes of the course (comprised of grammar and other theoretical contents of the program) as a private class and the other half (the practical activities of the program) with the group at the nearest available level. The student who attends a specific purpose course will receive 70% of this course, the other 30% as an intensive language course if the student so chooses.

 

2.2. Changing Group (SPANISH COURSES)

2.2.1. Students who would like to change their group must consult a teacher about the possibility. The teacher and academic manager will decide whether or not the change is appropriate and/or beneficial for the student.

2.2.2. Amplifying a General (A) course into a General (B) course is possible. Changing the course from General (B) into General (A) is considered a form of cancellation and is usually not possible.

 

 

2.3. Extension of SPANISH Courses

2.3.1. Extending a course must be requested and approved of by Management, who will agree to communicate the decision within 24 hours. Please request the extensions as soon as possible: the sooner the request is addressed to Management, the more benefits you will have organising the stay.

2.3.2. If a course subscription is extended, price will be calculated according to the total number of weeks, resulting in a cheaper cost than considering it a new booking.

2.3.3. The participation in a course runs from Monday to the Friday of the last week of stay. Requests for prolongation to make up for any lost days will be considered by management and would be free of charge. This is usually possible if the group remains open.

2.3.4. The beginning and/or departure on different days must be accepted by management. The following price schedule will be applied in 2012:

2.4. School Materials

2.4.1. The centre will provide the necessary materials for study, including a grammar book and exercises that correspond to the student's level. This belongs to the student and is included in the fee.

2.4.2. Registration also includes use of all school materials available at the centre. These materials are the property of the school. If used, materials must be returned to the school prior to departure.

2.4.3. The use of books and related materials must be made according to the customary rules of loans: that is to say, it is forbidden to mark and/or write in them. They must also be returned in the same good condition they were received.

2.4.4. The school, as much as possible -with no guarantee- will facilitate the acquisition of the materials used.

 

2.5. Diplomas and Certificates

 

2.5.1 At the end of the course, every student interested will obtain a certificate of attendance. To obtain this certificate, class attendance of at least 90% is necessary. The right to obtain this certificate is lost if non-justified absences exceed 10 %.

2.5.2. A certificate of level is made available to the student after completing a level test organized by the academic management of the school.

2.5.3. All certificates incur administrative costs of €5.

 

3. ACCOMMODATION

It also includes electricity, gas, water, heating, community tax and cleaning (once a week, minimum). Most of the apartments also have television and telephone, but not all of them contain these facilities. All students have access to a swimming pool in the summer.

3.2. Placement of the students is the responsibility of the school. The school will always consider criteria of distance, number of people to share the place, status, age, etc. in order to ensure the best possible placement to the best of the school's ability.

3.3. Accommodation lasts from Sunday to the Saturday of the last week of stay. Arrival before and/or extension until Sunday will be considered by management upon request.
