Do you want CESA to arrange a transfer? Collection from the nearest airport/station is arranged by most colleges, (for a fee) please refer to College Profiles or on line for details.

Have you checked course availability with CESA staff? This is particularly important during the busy summer months, but is recommended throughout the year.

Have you checked your best travel route? CESA does not arrange travel, but we are always happy to offer advice, which can save a lot of wasted time and expense.

Is the course you want open to you? Some courses have age or ability restrictions. It’s best to be clear from the word go, so if in doubt please talk to us.

Are you within 8 weeks of the course start date? If yes, remember that full fees will be required at the time of booking.

Have you read through the CESA Terms & Conditions at www.cesalanguages.com.
