IF YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA

If you want to apply for a student visa, ask your embassy or consulate about the legal conditions to obtain the visa (minimum duration and amount of hours, timing for getting the visa, etc.)

Bear in mind that the Spanish government requires all the students to study full-time and the classes should be obligatory ones. In order to obtain the achievement certificate of the school, students must attend all the classes and pass all the final exams. In the certificate, we’ll specify which course students have attended and the obtained marks according to their study curriculum.

STEPS TO FOLLOW

1. Fill in the inscription form that you will find in the website.

2. If you have already studied Spanish, download the level test and do it. You will find it in the link “inscription”. Send us the level test by e-mail (the test is part of the level tests, when you arrive at school you will have to do a grammar test to confirm your level).

3. Specify in your e-mail the subject “certificate for visa”, the initial and final dates of your studies in the school and the amount of hours per week you are willing to study.

4. The school will inform you about the level, the timetable and the prices of your course and the conditions for signing-up.

5. If you are in agreement with the conditions you may sign-up: you send to us the conditions for enrolment signed by you and pay the entire course fee + the enrolment fee (30€).

6. If you are abroad, you may pay by bank transfer to the following account (it is very important that you give to the bank the name of the student and that you order to the bank that the transaction expenses are at your own expenses not at the beneficiary’s expenses or shared expenses):

7. Please, send us by e-mail the copy of the bank transfer (with your name).

8. Once we confirm the receipt of the payment by bank transfer, we will send you the certificate of registration by e-mail and by mail to the address you sent to us. From this moment you are a student of the school on the dates you have enrolled.

ENROLMENT AND PAYMENT

- When you pay the whole course(s) in which you enrol, you will receive the certificate of registration. The prices include the course, the level test, the enrolment fees and additional photocopies given by the teacher. The prices do not include books.

- If you pay several consecutive trimesters the prices already include the 30% discount.

- If you sign-up for 12, 16 or 20 hours/week courses, such courses are a combination of general language course and  conversation or grammar or preparation course for the DELE-exam. As soon as we know your level we will inform you of the available timetable.

MODIFICATIONS IN THE CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION
