• We are looking for an intensive language course for our son. He is almost 16 years old and will enroll in a Portuguese school. Do you have any options for him?
  “The minimum age for our group courses is 16yrs and so, unfortunately, we will not be able to accept this student onto this type of course. However, any of our individual programs are suitable and the student can start any Monday. The Crash Intensive Programme (CIP) is a good option. Included in the program is access to our online learning platform for study and practice between lessons (hundreds and hundreds of exercises and activities) which could be super useful in this case.”

• If I book without accommodation, is it possible to add it later?
  “Yes, of course! Please note, however, that it is not 100% certain that the school can then confirm the request, especially at some specific times of the year.
  That is why we recommend that you always place your request at the time of enrolment, and if it is no longer needed you can cancel it within 48/72 hours of receiving the course confirmation email.”

  Antonio, Area Manager Italian from Portuguese Connection - Aug 04, 2022
• I wonder if the courses and accommodations currently offered on your website can also be booked for next year? If so, are the prices the same?
  “Yes, for the most part the courses and accommodations offered will be the same. What is good to know is that at the end of the year we (Languagecourse.net) always update all of the school profiles for the next year. During that period we will publish the new course starting dates, prices & accommodation/course options, if there are any. If you see a course you'd like to book for next year, we recommend that you send us an email so we can check with the school if they can honour this years prices for your course starting next year. Additionally, most schools tend to offer their best accommodations to those who book early.”

• The website states that the school offers free cancellation on my course, is there any special conditions that apply if I want to cancel (do I need to have a doctor's certificate or something similar)?
  “Not at all, free cancellation means free cancellation, so you do not have to give us any reason should you choose to cancel. Just remember to check when the last day of the free cancellation is, so that you do not inform us too late and risk cancellation fees from the school. If you book accommodation via the school, make sure to check the cancellation policy for the accommodation as well as for the course.”
