Enrollment in ASPIRANTUM language courses

The enrolment is done by submitting the online enrolment form via aspirantum.com or sending an email to ASPIRANTUM representatives. The enrollment is verified by a written confirmation, sent by email.

After the confirmation, the student is registered in the ASPIRANTUM course and bound to cover the sent invoice before the mentioned deadlien. If the student needs a visa, it is recommended that he/she apply at least 6 weeks before the course starts, so the ASPIRANTUM school can provide with necessary documents proving participation in the course.

- The candidate has less than the efficient level of one of the required languages. Since ASPIRANTUM does not organize elementary / beginner level language courses, a certain knowledge of the language is required for all applicants;
