Why Eurocentres?<br />
Why Eurocentres?<br />
Individual support<br />
A language course abroad is more than simply learning a language<br />
– it is a life experience. Whether you dream of studying<br />
in another country, landing your perfect job or interacting with<br />
the locals on your next holiday, at Eurocentres you will receive<br />
the attention and support you need to achieve your goals. The<br />
EUROCENTRES SUCCESS SYSTEM is based on a proven<br />
learning system that offers structured, individualised study<br />
plans and permanent feedback on progress by a qualified teacher.<br />
Fast progress<br />
<strong>Learning</strong> styles and interests differ from one course participant<br />
to the next. Therefore Eurocentres attaches great importance to<br />
assessing your initial language skills and goals. We will discuss<br />
these with you before your booking, on your arrival at the school<br />
and during your course. This forms the basis of your personal<br />
self-study plan and allocation to a particular class. During your<br />
stay, your teacher will meet you regularly to discuss your learning<br />
progress and to ensure that you achieve your learning goals<br />
quickly and confidently.<br />
Top locations and state-of-the-art<br />
learning environment<br />
Spacious, bright classrooms, state-of-the-art furniture and<br />
cutting-edge technology provide the ideal conditions for effective<br />
learning. Study areas, communal rooms and fast wi-fi in<br />
all schools build a solid foundation for your success. Our schools<br />
are centrally located and have been designed to meet the particular<br />
needs of language students. Our programmes offer you<br />
a variety of suitable destinations for learning abroad. The choice<br />
is vast thanks to our extended network of partner schools,<br />
which have been carefully selected and regularly audited by<br />
Eurocentres. They offer an outstanding range of benefits and<br />
services, which may vary from those offered by Eurocentres<br />
schools.<br />
Home away from home<br />
Eurocentres takes great care in selecting your accommodation.<br />
We place much importance on providing you with the best<br />
environment in which to thrive. If any issue should arise, such<br />
as homesickness or difficulties with your homestay family,<br />
someone is always on hand to help you: your class teacher,<br />
accommodation coordinator, academic manager or centre<br />
manager. All schools have a 24-hour emergency number.<br />
Meet the world<br />
Studying at a Eurocentres school means meeting people from<br />
more than 90 countries. The well-balanced mix of nationalities<br />
enriches the experience of learning and using a foreign language<br />
in a multicultural context. You will learn to communicate and<br />
socialise with people from all over the world.<br />
Practise outside the classroom<br />
The best way to practise is to use your new language skills outside<br />
the classroom. Eurocentres offers you plenty of opportunities<br />
to do so through its well-balanced and enriching social<br />
activities programme. You can participate in activities of your<br />
choice in order to get more out of your language adventure.<br />
Investing in your future<br />
<strong>Learning</strong> a language is a major investment in your future. The<br />
Eurocentres Foundation, an institute of Migros Culture<br />
Percentage, has been providing language services for more<br />
than 60 years and aims to bridge national, cultural and social<br />
barriers. We are a non-profit organisation and therefore it is part<br />
of our mission that any profits are reinvested in our operations<br />
for your benefit.<br />
Swiss quality<br />
Eurocentres provides every day Swiss quality. We ensure the<br />
quality of our teaching, facilities and services systematically<br />
through audits, customer feedback and accreditation by external<br />
organisations to ensure you receive the best learning experience.<br />
Experience counts<br />
The first Eurocentres school opened in England in 1948 – one<br />
of the first language schools worldwide. Our reputation for<br />
providing quality education has led to our appointment as<br />
consultant to the Council of Europe since 1968. In this role we<br />
contribute significantly to the development of the Common<br />
European Framework of Reference for <strong>Language</strong>s, a worldwide<br />
standard for language learning. Our innovative language<br />
methodologies are constantly developed and adapted to meet<br />
current needs.<br />

Quality<br />
Quality<br />
Quality is paramount. A consultant to the Council of Europe since<br />
1968, Eurocentres played a crucial role in the development of<br />
the Common European Framework of Reference for <strong>Language</strong>s,<br />
a worldwide standard for language learning. This guideline<br />
provides a basis for developing and comparing language courses<br />
and results. As a founding member of EAQUALS, Eurocentres<br />
has continuously set global standards for high quality language<br />
learning.<br />
Quality at Eurocentres<br />
Eurocentres’s strong commitment to quality is evident in its high<br />
performance standards. All aspects of the school and services are<br />
monitored systematically by our Quality Management System.<br />
We go the extra mile to ensure fast and sustainable progress and<br />
strongly believe that quality matters for a successful learning<br />
experience.<br />
Accreditation<br />
All Eurocentres schools are accredited by one or more external<br />
quality assurance organisations such as EAQUALS and the British<br />
Council (for full details see page 69). Our innovative language<br />
methodologies and services are constantly developed and adapted to<br />
exceed expectations and we regularly achieve points of excellence.<br />
You can find a public report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate,<br />
one of the UK quality assurance organizations here:<br />
http://www.educationaloversight.co.uk/home/<br />
Our schools received excellent results in the assessments with just one<br />
recommendation for improvement. This recommendation has been<br />
addressed and resolved.<br />

<strong>Language</strong> in an everyday professional<br />
environment – this is the<br />
magic formula if you want to<br />
deepen your linguistic ability,<br />
gain intercultural skills and<br />
new professional experience.<br />
However, you must be an open<br />
person for this type of programme:<br />
willing to learn and<br />
adapt to the needs of the partner<br />
company. The course must comprise<br />
a period of language study,<br />
immediately followed by a period<br />
of full-time work experience. Ask<br />
your advisor for more information<br />
on work experience.<br />

Accommodation<br />
Accommodation<br />
We do our best to ensure you feel truly at home in your host<br />
country. Whether you choose to stay in a homestay, a<br />
student residence, a hotel or guesthouse, you can be sure that<br />
all accommodation options have been carefully selected by<br />
Eurocentres. You will be spoilt for choice: select the type of<br />
accommodation that suits your needs.<br />
Homestay<br />
Most Eurocentres students choose our<br />
homestay programme. It is one of the best<br />
ways to get to know your host country’s customs<br />
and culture, and the ideal opportunity<br />
to use your newly acquired language skills.<br />
You will have your own room, furnished to a<br />
good local standard. If you have any special<br />
requirements, such as a vegetarian diet, please<br />
let us know on the registration form. We will<br />
make every effort to comply with your wishes<br />
when arranging your accommodation. Our<br />
homestay families – with and without children,<br />
older couples and single people – are carefully<br />
selected and regularly inspected by our local<br />
staff, following clearly defined quality<br />
standards. We have been working with most<br />
of our hosts for many years now and all are<br />
experienced in looking after guests in their<br />
homes.<br />
Student residence<br />
In a student residence, contact with students<br />
from all over the world will give you the<br />
chance to form and deepen friendships. You<br />
will have your own room and be responsible<br />
for your own meals. Some residences have<br />
university restaurant facilities nearby where<br />
you can eat at a reasonable price. Others have<br />
communal kitchens where you can prepare<br />
your own meals, although not all are equipped<br />
with crockery, pots and pans.<br />
Hotel or apartment<br />
Most of the apartments we offer are basic,<br />
inexpensive studios with a bedroom/living<br />
room and a kitchenette. The range of<br />
apartments varies from location to location.<br />
We are also happy to arrange or recommend<br />
accommodation for you in a two, three and<br />
four-star hotel or guesthouse.<br />

Yuiko Ono, Japan<br />
My English has progressed a lot<br />
since I came here, especially my<br />
pronunciation and speaking skills.<br />
The teachers are also good at<br />
organising classes and they teach<br />
and explain in a very kind way.<br />
They always try to understand<br />
students and they notice what we<br />
need. The social programme events<br />
are always fantastic, I often join<br />
them with my friends.<br />

What helped me overcome my<br />
shyness in speaking English was the<br />
friendliness of everyone working at<br />
the school. I never hesitated to ask<br />
questions because all the people were<br />
very helpful. During my time in San<br />
Diego, I made many friends, tried<br />
new food and had a lot of fun. I will<br />
miss San Diego and the great time I<br />
had, but I will definitely keep in<br />
touch with everyone!<br />

My experience here has been<br />
amazing, not only because<br />
Vancouver is a wonderful city but<br />
also because Eurocentres has very<br />
good teachers who have helped me<br />
a lot to improve my English. I think<br />
I will never forget the countless<br />
experiences that I have had in the<br />
school and with friends I made.<br />
Eurocentres is definitely a great<br />
school because of its personalised<br />
education and focus on every<br />
student’s needs.<br />

South Africa’s fantastic beaches are a<br />
mecca for surfers and water-sports enthusiasts,<br />
while its rugged, mountainous interior<br />
offers thrill-seekers a variety of adventure<br />
activities. Naturally, no visit would be<br />
complete without travelling to one of the<br />
country’s 18 national parks, where one<br />
can expect fascinating encounters with<br />
the “Big Five” – the elephant, rhino, lion,<br />
buffalo and leopard. During the winter<br />
months, whale watching is a firm favourite.<br />
Cape Town<br />
The oldest city in South Africa<br />
and known as the “Mother City”.<br />
With Table Mountain at its heart,<br />
Cape Town straddles both the<br />
Atlantic and Indian Oceans. An<br />
ideal base for exploring the mountains,<br />
beaches, historic vineyards<br />
and farms for which the area is<br />
famed. Cape Town is a cosmopolitan<br />
city with fantastic cultural<br />

If I had to name the best thing that<br />
happened to me in South Africa, it<br />
would be studying at Eurocentres.<br />

you because it is their job. I felt like I<br />
was in a family, every break, every<br />

Malta, with its medieval, renaissance and<br />

of the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean,<br />
just off the southern tip of Italy. The<br />
Maltese archipelago consists of the three<br />
incredibly small islands of Malta, Gozo and<br />
Comino, area 314 km², and the small<br />
population lives happily and peacefully in a<br />
sunny, blue, English-speaking environment.<br />
Malta has a temperate winter climate<br />
where the sun shines practically every day.<br />
In summer, the inviting seas and light<br />
breezes cool you down from the hot sun.<br />
Sliema<br />
Sliema is Malta’s fashionable<br />
cosmopolitan town on the seafront,<br />
dotted with shopping<br />
arcades, casinos, wine bars, openair<br />
cafés, waterfront restaurants,<br />

Prehistoric temples and many<br />
beautiful bays impressed me a lot.<br />
I have improved my English and also<br />
met many other foreign students from<br />
all over the world. This is all thanks<br />
to the NSTS interesting leisure<br />
programme and fun after-school<br />
activities. It was a great experience<br />
and I hope that I will manage<br />
to come back again soon.<br />

In France, people speak the language of<br />
love, fashion, gastronomy, diplomacy and<br />
culture. It is the most visited country in the<br />
world with everything you could ever want<br />
to see: great cities, monuments and<br />
spectacular mountain and coastal scenery.<br />
The most famous sights of “la grande nation”<br />
are to be found in Paris.<br />
<br />
Paris<br />
Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur, the<br />

A city full of spirit, famous for its<br />
arts and “joie de vivre”, its wide<br />
boulevards and winding streets.<br />
Varied nightlife: trendy bars and<br />
clubs, traditional brasseries. Euro<br />
Disney is close to the city.<br />
La Rochelle<br />
Coastal location with islands,<br />
sandy beaches and sleepy fishing<br />
villages. The rich history of this<br />
harbour town has always been<br />
inseparable from the Atlantic.<br />
From the old port, the first French<br />
colonialists left for Canada in the<br />
15th century. Fantastic watersports<br />
facilities (sailing, surfing)<br />
along the Atlantic coast. A<br />
friendly student town.<br />
Amboise<br />
Wonderful little town in the<br />
“Garden of France”. Ideal base<br />
for excursions to the world-famous<br />
Loire castles and vineyards.<br />
Amboise is situated in Touraine,<br />
a region well known for its pure<br />
French and classed in 2000 as a<br />
UNESCO world heritage site. It’s<br />
no coincidence that Mick Jagger<br />
has chosen to make Amboise his<br />
second home!<br />

are not only very educational but<br />
also enjoyable and there are always<br />
many different activities to join.<br />
All the teachers are very friendly,<br />
always ready to help and very<br />
attentive. Finally, I have really<br />
enjoyed staying in Paris and I am<br />
very happy to have taken a language<br />

Switzerland, located in the heart of<br />
Europe, has been a favourite destination<br />
for tourists and students from all over<br />
the world for centuries. This is because<br />
the country offers everything you could<br />
possibly want: the highest mountain peaks<br />
with the best snow in Europe, international<br />
cosmopolitan cities, lovely waterscapes,<br />
world-famous museums, medieval towns –<br />
all within easy reach. Another plus is the<br />
excellent public transport service and the<br />
fantastic food.<br />
Lausanne<br />
Lausanne on Lake Geneva, only<br />
a few kilometres away from<br />
some of the highest peaks of<br />
the Alps (Matterhorn, Eiger,<br />
Mönch and Jungfrau), is an ideal<br />
city for leisure, exploring, cycling<br />
and strolling along the lakeside,<br />
and a must for watersports,<br />
mountaineering and winter sports<br />
enthusiasts. Very close by is the<br />
famous wine-growing district<br />
of Lavaux, and UNESCO world<br />

I have been in Lausanne for 3 months<br />
and I feel very comfortable in this<br />
school. Teachers are professional and<br />
motivated which I appreciate. Using<br />
IWB to watch videos is a great way to<br />
hear people with different accents.<br />
Whithin 3 months, I made enough<br />
headways to feel at ease when<br />
communicating with my friends at<br />
school and host family. If you want to<br />
learn French, I recommend you<br />
to come to Eurocentres Lausanne!<br />

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken<br />
languages and Spain is the ideal country<br />
in which to learn it. In Spain, the sound of<br />
rolling waves and dance music combine<br />
with contemporary architecture and<br />
centuries-old Moorish buildings, siestas and<br />
modern business life, to form a unique,<br />
vibrant blend. Lovers of the Mediterranean<br />
joie de vivre, modern design and a rich<br />
cultural heritage will be enchanted by life in<br />
Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid or Seville.<br />
Barcelona<br />
Situated between mountains and<br />
the Mediterranean sea, Barcelona<br />
is a cosmopolitan and dynamic<br />
city, full of life and varied culture.<br />
The city’s unique personality<br />
is reflected in its art and architecture,<br />
where ancient and modern<br />
styles coexist in a fascinating<br />
mixture.<br />
Valencia<br />
More than 2000 years of history<br />
is reflected in the numerous monuments<br />
and museums of Spain’s<br />
third largest city. Valencia has a<br />
warm year-round climate and the<br />
countless gardens and beaches<br />
create a peaceful and relaxed<br />
atmosphere. A multicultural city<br />
with many festivals. Valencia is<br />
less than 4 hours from Barcelona<br />
and Madrid by train.<br />
Madrid<br />
Madrid is the melting pot of the<br />
Latin world, where people from all<br />
parts of Spain and South America<br />
have made themselves a new home.<br />
As the capital of Spain, it is the governmental<br />
and commercial centre<br />
where you can find everything Latin<br />
under the sun: fascinating museums,<br />
first-class restaurants, great<br />
nightlife (be prepared to change<br />
your body clock), all set in a very<br />
inviting and friendly ambiance.<br />
Seville<br />
Seville is the classic heart of<br />
Spain where you can find every<br />
typical Spanish tradition: tapas,<br />
flamenco, colourful religious<br />
processions, bullfighting, siesta,<br />

Bob Appels, The Netherlands<br />
I had a fantastic time at the school<br />
in Valencia. The classes are small<br />
with only a few people, so I learned<br />
the language really quickly. The<br />
teachers are very friendly and you<br />
have different teachers during the<br />
day. We learned the grammar by<br />
playing different games, talking,<br />
listening and doing assignments. I<br />
enjoyed my time here and I would<br />
definitely come back.<br />

Argentina<br />
Buenos Aires<br />
Argentina comes from the Latin term<br />
“argentum”, which means silver. The origin<br />
of this name goes back to the first voyages<br />
made by the Spanish conquerors to the Río<br />
de la Plata. The survivors of the shipwrecked<br />
expedition mounted by Juan Díaz<br />
de Solís found indigenous people in the<br />
region who gave them silver objects as<br />
presents. It is a charming and energetic<br />
country with lots to offer: gorgeous<br />
landscapes, cosmopolitan cities and lively<br />
culture. Argentina is safe, friendly and very<br />
affordable.<br />
Buenos Aires<br />
“My beloved Buenos Aires” is<br />
one of the most famous tango<br />
songs. The secret of the city lies<br />
in having everything: culture,<br />
architecture, art, music, and nonstop<br />
nightlife. A fascinating city,<br />
worth discovering block by block<br />
(“cuadra” as we say here). The<br />
city of Buenos Aires is characterised<br />
as having a strong European<br />
influence, which is reflected not<br />
only in the city’s architectural<br />
design but also in the composition<br />
of the population, the majority<br />
being of Spanish or Italian<br />
descent.<br />

I feel very comfortable in this school.<br />
The whole organisation seems to<br />
work really well. The teachers pay a<br />
lot of attention and explain things in<br />
an easy, understandable way. I can<br />
already communicate quite a bit in<br />
Spanish after only 3 days, which is a<br />
really good sign.<br />

Peru, combining the modern and the<br />
ancient, is home to one of the New Seven<br />
Wonders of the World: Machu Picchu – the<br />
‘Lost City of the Incas’. Its rainforests<br />
contain butterflies bigger than your hand,<br />
pink dolphins and trees that walk! Surfers<br />
can catch the longest known wave, whilst<br />
onlookers can enjoy the famous cuisine.<br />
Spanish is the first language of the country,<br />
and the Nobel Prize for literature was<br />
recently awarded to a Peruvian author.<br />
Cuzco<br />
Cuzco, a charming city high in<br />
the Andes, is captivating to<br />
all who tread its steep, cobbled<br />
streets built by the ancient Incas.<br />
This welcoming place, surrounded<br />
by mountains and impressive<br />
ruins, is a place where you can feel<br />
at home immediately.<br />

Toby Waterman, Great Britain<br />
The school was a great stroke of<br />
luck for me. I was initially attracted<br />
to the school because of its work<br />
educating local teenagers. As the<br />
course progressed, I was impressed<br />
with the thoroughness of planning<br />
and the range of activities involved.<br />
Being a teacher myself, I could<br />
tell each lesson was specifically<br />
designed for my needs. In addition,<br />
the staff of the school generously<br />
showed me aspects of Cuzco not<br />
normally seen by tourists.<br />

I never would have imagined that<br />
this experience would change my<br />
entire life. The city is amazing and<br />
there is always something to explore.<br />
The staff are very caring and helpful,<br />

My six months at Eurocentres were<br />
incredible. I got to know people<br />
from different countries and learned<br />
a lot about their cultures. I also<br />
learned Italian! I arrived without any<br />
knowledge of this language, but<br />
thanks to the excellent teachers<br />
and staff I achieved a high level and<br />
I would like to thank them for<br />
everything they have done. I will<br />
never forget this beautiful experience<br />
and I will definitely return to<br />
Eurocentres! Thank you<br />
for everything.<br />

and speak in Japanese. The staff are<br />
always really nice and helpful, and<br />
do their best for your wellbeing. In<br />
small groups, especially in private<br />
lessons, you learn a lot. And with the<br />
afternoon activities you also get to<br />
know the Japanese culture, which<br />
is always fun and interesting. I hope<br />

China offers both bustling cosmopolitan<br />
cities like Beijing and Shanghai, with their<br />
modern high-rise buildings, classical<br />
culture and booming business districts,<br />
and beautiful countryside with small<br />
traditional villages. China is famous for its<br />
World Heritage Sites like the Great Wall,<br />
the Forbidden City and the Terracotta<br />
Army. The population consists of 56 ethnic<br />
groups, each with its own culture.<br />
Beijing<br />
The capital of China is a modern<br />
but still very Chinese city. The<br />
traditional architecture of the old<br />
temples and the Forbidden City<br />
sits alongside the new architecture<br />
of the Olympic sites and the<br />
new CCTV Tower. The city<br />
is bursting with life, with new<br />
restaurants, bars, shops and art<br />
galleries opening every day.<br />
The people of Beijing are friendly<br />
and approachable.<br />

Moscow<br />
Russia’s economic boom has profoundly<br />
transformed the country and its infrastructure,<br />
and has led to the emergence<br />
of a new and vibrant modern lifestyle.<br />
The opportunities are enormous but so<br />
are the challenges, and to witness these<br />
historic changes is an extraordinary and<br />
unforgettable experience. However,<br />
no amount of westernisation will ever<br />
change the much-quoted “Russian Soul”.<br />
Moscow<br />
Moscow is the New York of<br />
Russia, the city that never sleeps,<br />
but where old Russia is still<br />
evident. The many churches with<br />
their onion-shaped towers,<br />
old buildings and palaces and, of<br />
course, Red Square and the<br />
Kremlin, give the city centre a<br />
unique character. Moscow is both<br />
familiar and exotic – fascinating<br />
every visitor with its charm.<br />
St. Petersburg<br />
The beauty of St. Petersburg<br />
lies in the unique harmony of its<br />
architecture – baroque, classical<br />
and art nouveau, all enhanced<br />
magnificently by the ever-present<br />
water. Explore this world cultural<br />
heritage city that seems to consist<br />
entirely of palaces, churches and<br />
romantic canals.<br />

Insurance<br />
Cancellation and return travel costs<br />
This combined policy covers withdrawal and return travel costs.<br />
Period of cover: minimum three months<br />
Withdrawal costs:<br />
If you have to cancel your planned stay at a language school at short notice on health<br />
grounds (a medical certificate is required), because of a death in the family or a problem<br />
with your transport, this insurance covers the cancellation costs in accordance with<br />
Eurocentres’ Standard Terms of Business.<br />
Return travel costs:<br />
In the event of illness or accident, the costs of transport, either to the nearest local hospital<br />
or to a hospital where you live, are covered. If you have to terminate the course on<br />
compelling grounds and return home earlier (e.g. if a close relative dies, your property<br />
suffers serious damage as a result of burglary or natural disasters), the insurance will<br />
cover the additional return travel costs. In addition, ELVIA will refund the expenses for<br />
the unused part of the course pro-rata to the arrangement price. If the insured person<br />
goes missing, the insurance will cover the search and rescue costs.<br />

and send this as early as possible to Eurocentres or to a<br />
Euro centres contracting party. First and family name must be entered<br />
as shown in the travel documents (passport or identity card). On<br />
confirmation of the registration by Eurocentres (Foundation for<br />
<strong>Language</strong> and Educational Centres, Seestrasse 247, 8038 Zurich,<br />
Switzerland), the contract shall be deemed to have been agreed and<br />
the registration shall be binding. The minimum age for any<br />

The minimum age for Sydney, Melbourne, Madrid, Seville, Buenos<br />
Aires, Sliema and Beijing is 18 (18th birthday before course start).<br />
The course participant shall be deemed to be a Eurocentres contracting<br />
party provided he or she is 18 years old or more. In the case of<br />
course participants who at the time of registration (date of registration)<br />
have not yet reached the age of 18, or where despite having<br />
reached the age of 18 the participant is not deemed capable of being a<br />
contracting party according to the law of his or her country of residence,<br />
the contract must be signed by a parent or guardian, who must<br />
also give his or her exact address. This shall also apply when the age<br />
of consent is not 18 years in the country where the language course is<br />
taking place, or in which the course participant or his or her parent or<br />
guardian is resident. Special regulations apply for participants under<br />
18 years attending courses in Australia. Before enrolling, please ask<br />
your Eurocentres adviser for a copy of the “Supplementary information<br />
concerning Australia”, and /or consult www.eurocentres.com.<br />
Depending on the course venue, it may be the case that a parent or<br />
guardian has to give his or her consent to the language course if the<br />
participant is under 21 years of age (regardless of whether the<br />
participant is deemed capable of being a contracting party in his or<br />
her country of residence).<br />
The course participant shall be defined as the person who takes part,<br />
or intends to take part, in the language course that is the object of this<br />
contract.<br />
Vouchers and other promotions must be presented at the time of registration.<br />
Vouchers and promotions cannot be taken into consideration<br />
once the course confirmation is issued.<br />
Clause 2 Information provided on registration<br />

that the information provided at the time of registration for the language<br />
course shall correspond with the truth, and accepts that he or<br />
she may be expelled forthwith from the language course at any time<br />
should said information prove to be a misrepresentation (e.g. beginners<br />
who select a start date on which no beginners’ courses are available).<br />
In such an event, the course fees shall not be refunded in any<br />
way, not even on a pro-rata basis. Potential participants who are<br />
unsure of their language level should tell their Eurocentres adviser<br />
that they wish to take the Eurocentres Pathfinder test (available on<br />
www.eurocentres.com).<br />

registration. Enrolments received by phone, fax or mail: when paying<br />
by credit card, the down payment will be charged to the card 10 days<br />
after dispatch of the confirmation and the remaining payment six<br />
weeks before start of the course.<br />
Clause 4 Delay in payment<br />
Should payment not be made by the aforementioned date, the contracting<br />
party shall be deemed to be in default. In such an event,<br />
Eurocentres shall not be obliged to admit the course participant to the<br />
language course. The existence of a claim on the part of Eurocentres<br />
shall remain unaffected by the above. Eurocentres may claim damages<br />
in accordance with clause 10.<br />
Clause 5 Proof of payment<br />
At the start of the course, the course participant shall provide proof of<br />
payment of the course fees and, where applicable, of the accommodation<br />

extend your course before commencement of the course. If we receive<br />
your change of booking less than 14 days before the course is due to<br />
begin or after the course has started, other costs may be incurred in<br />
addition to the booking change fee (e.g. for accommodation), which<br />
we will have to pass on to you. Any extension of a course, once the<br />
course has begun, will be treated as a new enrolment. In the case of<br />
specialised courses of more than four weeks, the specialisation can also<br />
be changed during the course. However, only one change can be made<br />
every four weeks. The school must in any case agree to a change.<br />

prices published in the catalogue, on the internet or elsewhere. On<br />
conclusion of the contract, Eurocentres may amend the published<br />

style of the course. If material changes are made to key services, the<br />
contracting party shall have the right to withdraw from the contract or<br />
to request to join an equivalent language course, where Eurocentres is<br />
able to offer him or her such a course. Eurocentres shall immediately<br />

cost of transportation, increases in charges for certain services, fluctuation<br />
in exchange rate, official price increases, introduction or increased<br />
official charges. In the case of such an increase, the price can be<br />
adapted and increased accordingly. In the case of price increases of<br />
more than 10%, the contracting partner shall have the same rights as<br />

changes to the programme or services during the language course due<br />
to unforeseeable or unpreventable reasons are permissible, provided<br />
the overall content of the programme remains unchanged. Eurocentres<br />
retains the absolute right to assign or re-assign participants to classes<br />
in accordance with their language skills or to implement any other<br />
measures required for the correct operation of the school.<br />

at B1 on the CEFR and are able to study in a course at B2 level. The CAS has to be presented at a<br />
British diplomatic mission overseas when applying for entry clearance together with proof that the<br />
student has enough money to cover course fees and living costs and proof of English level.<br />
A non-refundable fee for the CAS of GBP 18 will apply. Students on a General Student Visa can<br />
extend their visa while in the UK, but cannot work. Please contact the British embassy or consulate<br />
for further information. Please note that non-EU / EEA / Swiss nationals cannot study in the UK on an<br />
Adult Visitor (Tourist) or Business visa.<br />

CANADA: Vancouver, Toronto<br />
Participants who plan to study in Canada for less than six months can do so on a simple Visitor<br />
(Tourist) visa. Eurocentres Canada requires all students studying 6 month or longer in any of their<br />
programs to have a Study Permit. All students are required to comply with Canadian Citizenship and<br />
Immigration laws and regulations. For information on visas and permits and related requirements to<br />
study in any type of program in Canada please visit the official website at www.cic.gc.ca.<br />
CHINA: Beijing<br />
To stay in China you need a visa (30 days), which can be extended twice, i.e. up to 90 days, while<br />
you are in Beijing. This can be obtained at the Chinese Embassy in your country. It is very important<br />
that you apply for a normal tourist visa (L-Visa); a student visa is not required for our courses. If you<br />
want to study longer than 90 days, you can apply for a cultural exchange visa (M-Visa) for which<br />
the school will provide you with an invitation letter (see Visa registration fee to pay). The visa<br />
granted is for 90 days with a double entry. After 90 days you have to leave China - for a neighbour<br />
country if you wish to - and on return you will be granted another 90 days.<br />
Up-to-date information can be found on these websites: http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/ljzg/3647/<br />
or the Chinese embassy in your country: www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/embassy_list.htm<br />
IRELAND: Dublin<br />
Participants from many countries outside the European Union require a visa to enter Ireland. For the<br />
application, they need a letter of acceptance provided by the school, a proof of payment of tuition<br />
fees, a medical insurance certificate and a formal financial statement that they can support<br />
themselves during their stay. Please contact the Irish embassy or consulate for precise information.<br />

USA: New York, East Lansing, San Diego, Miami, Boston<br />
To take more than 18 hours per week of study, a student must have a student visa (not a tourist<br />
visa), obtained from the local American embassy/consulate. To apply for the visa, students need<br />
a completed I-20 form from the school. Regulations effective from June 2003: SEVIS, the new<br />
US government automated student visa system, means that in order to issue the I-20 form,<br />
financial documents from the student must be provided (e.g. a bank account statement) proving<br />
that he/she has “enough readily available funds” to study/live in the US for the period covered by<br />
the I-20 “available from an identified and reliable financial source”. Please contact the US embassy<br />
or consulate for precise information.<br />
