FAQ

The questions students ask us most before choosing a school.

Do I need a study permit?

Most BLI programs last 6 months or less, which usually means you can study with a visitor visa or eTA, depending on your country. Our team checks your case and sends you the documents you need.

When can I start?

Most adult programs start any Monday. Complete beginners start on the first Monday of a session. Camps, exam courses and kids' online classes have fixed dates. Your quote includes the next available date.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the program, the number of weeks and where you live. Ask for a free quote: you get the course, accommodation, airport transfer and insurance in one email, with no obligation. Get a quote.
