Program Start Dates
Untitled Document
All of our English, Spanish and TEFL language programs are designed as four-week
sessions. Programs are a minimum of one week, but you determine the length of
your studies.
Although classes begin every Monday, (unless it is a holiday), it is best to
start your language program on the start dates listed below. If you are coming
from out-of-town, try to arrive in Guadalajara two or three days before classes
begin so you are familiar with the school, the City and buses.
The TEFL course starts on the dates specified. It is not a course that can
be joined on any Monday. TBE and TEC are programmes that can be started any
day of the week. These programmes are optional and as such, our school attempts
to make them fit into your schedule.
