Frequently asked questions
When do the groups start?

When and how to apply?
On-site courses: the application period for the autumn semester starts in August and runs until mid-September, for the spring semester it starts in January and runs until the end of February. For some groups, it is possible to enrol outside the application period – please contact us! You can apply online using our application form.
Online courses: you can join our online groups from anywhere in the country – or abroad. You can apply online using our online application form.
We would like to join, but we are not sure about the level of the child. Which group should we apply to?
You can let us know on the application form if you are not sure about your child’s level. In this case, our colleagues will get in touch with you and will be happy to help assess your child’s level. Our teachers can evaluate your child’s level in our free open lessons, or if you are taking a trial lesson in one of our groups during the year, you can also be assessed in that lesson and then join a group at another level if the teacher suggests so. There is no obligation when attending a trial lesson.
How much do the courses cost? How can I pay?
There is a choice of packages to cover course fees: paying in equal monthly instalments gives you flexibility. You can also choose to pay half-yearly, loyalty fees, which are more convenient (less administration) and offer better rates. In the latter case, our students commit to the course for one semester, so stable groups and a confident attitude create the ideal conditions for rapid progress.
Our course fees can be found on our Prices page.
Course fees can be paid by bank transfer or online credit card payment.
