COURSES
All the classes are composed from at least 4 participants. If this number of participants to a course is not reached, the course will be activated however. Nevertheless the direction reserves the right to decrease the number of times of lesson in relationship to the present participants, in consideration of the most greater intensity of the lessons in so small groups: 1 student / 2 students = 2 hours, 3 students = 3 hours In this case the cost of the course is unchanged.

VISAS
The students that need a visa in entrance have to contact the Italian Consulate in their country to dispatch the necessary formalities. The School furnishes the necessary certificates to obtain of the Visa of Entry in Italy for exclusive motives of study. To be able to send such certificates is relatively required the total payment of the course and a deposit in the 30% measure for the accommodation. The School sends within 8 days from the arrival in Italy the students to the police office for the issue of permit of stay. The students that need such service will have preferential passage in the police office. In case the student doesn't get the visa, the School will return the whole sum received except administration of 180,00 euro and possible banking expenses sustained for the restitution of the sum. The School needs a document released from the Italian Consulate that attests that the requested visa has not been approved from the competent authorities.

If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION.

The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and  you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
 You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
