“This was my first course - but certainly not my last at the school. The people are very open, extremely eager and also super flexible. The teachers respond well to the students and always have enough time to solve specific questions and problems. I can already say that my next course will also take place in Alghero. Many thanks to the whole team and please keep up the good work. I am looking forward to seeing you again!
