Your application should be completed on our on line application form.
After successful application, you will be asked to pay a deposit of 500 euro which is refundable ONLY if we decide not to accept you into the program.
As part of our pre-screening process, applicants are requested to submit an account of their personal history and background and of their motives for joining the course, as well as their future aspirations.
If for any reason you wish to subsequently cancel your place on the course after your part or full fees (i.e. deposit plus balance) have been paid, The Language House cannot provide any refund except under compelling circumstances. The director's decision is final. The deposit is non-refundable but may be applied to a future course. The reason for this is that the staffing for the course and accommodation have fixed costs which have to be paid in advance and based on a specific number of course members in the group. The school cannot guarantee to replace course members who subsequently drop out.
The balance of the course fee must be paid via credit card, bank transfer or in cash upon arrival at the course. Please contact the director in advance if you wish to make an alternative payment arrangement.
The Language House offers free housing assistance to its course participants during the course. This assistance is a courtesy. While we always aim to find comfortable and affordable housing for our clients, The Language House does not take payment for this service and therefore cannot be held responsible for sudden rate increases, services given by the housing provider or any other complaints related to housing.
The Language House does not guarantee jobs by any definition. The course fees paid cover only the course and course materials. The job assistance we provide is a free courtesy that, while we are happy to provide, is not included in the course fees and therefore The Language House cannot be held responsible for possible failure in securing a job upon completion of the course.
The course fee is based on your satisfactory completion of all the course assessments, including Teaching Practices, within the four weeks. If for any reason you do not complete these satisfactorily within the period and it is agreed that an extension of time or further Teaching Practices are possible later, you will be liable to additional charges to cover additional staff time. These are USD$35 for each Teaching Practice and USD$20 for each piece of written work. If you withdraw from the program, at any point of your current course and wish to attend a later course, an additional fee of 500 euros must be paid. If you have not completed the course within 6 months time of the withdraw date, the balance fees must be paid again.
If for some reason we cancel a course, we will allow any members who had signed up for the course and paid their deposit to enroll in a future course or we return said deposit.
The Language House TESOL certificate is graded and the final certificate will be available on the last day of the course.
All course members are liable to the disciplinary regulations of the center. The course director's decision is final.
