In the event that there will be  only 2 or 3 students for a particular level, the number of hours will be reduced by 1 hour per day. The number of course hours include the initial test. Should a student be unable to attend a course, he or she cannot transfer the payment both for the course and accomodation to another student.

-The medium number of students in the class is 5/6, the maximum number is 9/10.

-First day at school

We will be expecting you at school at 8:30 am. If you are absolute beginner you will attend your first lesson. All other students take a written and oral  test which enables us to find the appropriate level. After the test, some teachers will describe programs, the school organization and will give you some useful information about the area. In the afternoon the class lists and timetables will be posted. If you have any questions about the level assigned, you should contact our course director immediately.

6. Accommodation: Accommodation is available from the Sunday evening before the beginning of the course to Saturday midday after the course. Different arrival or departure days must be confirmed to the school. The school is only an i n t e rm e d i a ry between students and landlords and cannot be directly responsible for the relations between them. However, you will be assisted by a member of our staff in case of problems.

Please inform the school (by phone, fax or email), at least four days before your arrival, of your estimated time of arrival. If you arrive a day earlier, or if you want to stay a day longer, get in touch with the school. Bed-linens are provided and changed every two weeks, but you need to bring your own towels.

The money paid for accomodation is not refundable in case of cancellation or in case you leave the house before the reserved period.

7.Transfer: We also provide a personal transfer service from the airport of Brindisi and the train station of Lecce to your accommodation. If you would like the school to arrange a transfer, please send us your arrival information (date and time of arrival and flight or train number) with the enrolment form. Please, confirm your arrival almost one day before by calling the school or e-mailing. Contact the school in case of delays.
