FAQ

If you are interested in any of our courses you should register at www.englishmatters.org in order to reserve a place in the course and date of your choosing.

Our courses are very popular all over Europe and they fill very quickly therefore if you are interested in any of our courses please register as soon as possible.

When you register you automatically will receive an email with a provisional registration in the course of your choosing. Please note that you should not make any travel arrangements until we send you final confirmation of the course you have registered for.

When a programme has a sufficient number of applicants, we send out instructions on how to proceed with payment of the reservation fee to confirm their intention of participating in the course.

This is an essential step in order to keep the places in the programme and to have definite numbers for a course. When applicants consolidate their places and we have definite consolidated numbers for the programme, we will send out final confirmation of the course and give you the go-ahead to make travel arrangements.

You can participate in our course with an Erasmus+ grant, Power grant, any other type of grant and also you can participate privately without being granted.
