The fee for the level test ( 20) will be deducted from your course fee when you enrol within a year of taking the test. IF YOU ARE CONTINUING YOUR STUDIES WITH US To enrol for the next course level (i.e. Intermediate, Advanced...) you must have passed an exam for the level you have just completed. A certificate can be issued on request. You can enrol before having the exam result to benefit from the early enrolment discount, as you will be entitled to a full refund if you do not pass. ENROLMENT PROCEDURE Once your level has been established, or if you are a beginner, you can enrol either in person at our office or by phone and pay by credit or debit card. The enrolment office is open at the following times: * to : 10.00 to 18.30 * : 10.00 to 16.30 CONCESSIONS To be eligible for a 5% loyalty discount on our Spanish Courses you must have been enrolled on a course in the last two terms.

A 10% discount also applies for all courses to full-time UK students, senior citizens (+65) and those in receipt of the Jobseekers Allowance, subject to presentation of valid documentation at the time of enrolment. The above 10% discount does not apply to full time students in courses to prepare for GCSE, AS or A2 levels. Concessions do not apply to teacher training courses and 1-2-1 or Corporate private lessons. Courses for children: There is a 5% discount for siblings in addition to the 5% loyalty discount for children enrolled on a course in the last two terms plus an extra 5% discount if they enrol at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the course. Students must apply for any appropriate discount at the time of enrolment. No discounts can be applied retrospectively. Several discounts can be applied at the same time up to a maximum of 25% discount. Payments can only be made by debit or credit card (except American Express). We regret that we cannot accept cheques. Enrolment is automatic once payment has been received. Students will be notified in advance if a course has been cancelled.

Please note that from 1 st Sept AVE will no longer be available at a discount or free of charge for IC students.

The Instituto Cervantes reserves the right to change, in exceptional cases, and by giving notice in advance, the timetable of some class sessions.
