HOW TO APPLY FOR OUR PROGRAMS

2) If the decision is positive, and you have been pre-approved for the course, then you will receive a pre-acceptance letter and will have completed 50% of the application process and can proceed to step four.

– You now have 7 days to set up step four, which is the WhatsApp interview.

– If after 7 days, you have not set up the WhatsApp interview, we assume that you are not interested in continuing the application process and we free up your pre-reserved place in the program for somebody else on the waiting list.

– Because of the high demand for our TEFL program and our Madrid Lifestyle Programs and the limited number of people we can accept per month, we often have a waiting list for the month that you have reserved, and we need to free the space up for another person.

If you decide to set up the WhatsApp interview after the 7 days have expired, you would need to reapply.

 

Step Four: WHATSAPP Interview (75% Complete)

Now it’s time to set up a Whatsapp interview.

1) You need to send us your Whatsapp number and schedule a time with Richard on Fridays from 4-8 pm Spanish time.

2) As we have applicants from many different time zones, please just send us the time you can Whatsapp according to the Madrid time zone.

3) Fridays is Richard’s interview day, however, if you can’t, for any reason, do the Whatsapp interview on a Friday from 4 pm to 8 pm Spanish time, please send us a time that you can and he will adapt to your schedule.

During the interview, you can ask Richard all the questions you want and he can find out more about you. Once you are finished with the interview, we will let you know if you have been accepted. If you are, congratulations, you have now completed 75% of the application process for the program that you are interested in.

 

Step Five: Payment Instructions

You will receive an acceptance letter, instructions on how to pay the deposit and an invoice with payment details.

 

Step Six: Deposit Payment (100% Complete)

1) To finish the application process and secure your place in the program you have chosen, you need to pay the reservation fee a maximum of 7 days after you have had your WhatsApp interview.

– You will receive this after you successfully pass the WhatsApp interview.

2) The reservation deposit is 600€ for the Madrid Lifestyle and the One Year Study Abroad Program with TEFL and Spanish.

– The reservation deposit for the other programs is 300€.

3) If after 7 days, you have not sent your reservation deposit, we assume that you are not interested in continuing the application process and we free up your pre-reserved place in the program for somebody else on the waiting list.

– Because of the high demand for our programs and the limited number of people we can accept per month, we often have a waiting list for the month that you have reserved, and we need to free the space up for another person.

If you decide to pay the reservation deposit after the 7 days have expired, you would need to reapply.

 

Step Seven: Letter for Spanish Consulate (Non-EU)

1) Once the payment is received and you have sent us the reciept of payment, your place is reserved (not until).

2) In the case that you are Non-EU, we send you an Enrollment Certificate for the Spanish Consulate that says you have paid the deposit and that you are eligible for a student visa.

a) First you have to fill out our Enrollment Form (which we send you by email after you send us the deposit payment reciept) with your personal details that we need to create the Enrollment Certificate, plus the picture page of your passport. 

b) Count approximately 7 days from the day you have paid your deposit, until the day you receive your Enrollment Certificate.

c) This document (the only document that is accepted by all Spanish consulates, worldwide for a one year student visa) has to be digitally signed with a special Instituto Cervantes digital signature stamp that only the CEO of our Cervantes accredited partner school can sign. 

d) This very valuable Enrollment Certificate is your passport to a year (or more) in Spain and that is why it takes about 7 days to process, so please be aware of this, in order to time your consulate appointment correctly.   

3) We will also send you all the files and information you need to get your visa, as well as how renew it after a year, if you so wish.

– Our yearly visa renewal is only 1970€ (see below the CE Four Year Spanish Residency Path), but a renewal with other TEFL programs costs 3000 Euros every year and for an Instituto Cervantes Accredited school like ours, it is 6.000-7.500€ for a year student visa to study Spanish!

4) We also send you a welcome e-pack that includes information about the courses, things you will need to bring and accommodation information.

 

Step Eight: Remaining Course Payment

The rest of the course fee is paid in euros (we cannot accept foreign currencies) on your Orientation Date.
