After completing the questionnaire, you will receive a link to evaluate your English level. Once the questionnaire and level evaluation have been completed, IMC will contact you to discuss your training objectives.

Step 3)

Based on the information received from the questionnaire, evaluation, and discussion, IMC will create a customized program with a quote. This quote will be sent to you, free of charge, with no obligation to complete an English training program with IMC. You are welcome to contact IMC with any questions.

Step 4)

If you are happy with the proposed program with the quoted price, you sign the contract and send it back to IMC. Upon receiving your signed contract, we will send you an email confirming your registration.

How do I sign up?

What happens if I choose not to sign a contract?

English training is an investment of both time and money and we don’t want to push you into doing something you’re not ready or able to do. Just because you fill out a questionnaire and have a conversation does not mean you have to decide to start English training.

The quote is valid for one year. If you decide to start the program, feel free to contact us.

Payments

There are two payment options.

 

Either the price of the training is divided into three payments, or

One third of the price of the training is paid before the training begins and then each month the client is billed for sessions completed during that month.

 

Payment terms will be discussed and agreed upon by both parties before the contract is signed.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will be charged and the session will not be made up.

 

No more than one cancellation per month will be tolerated. Additional cancellations will be charged.
