Ask a question

"I have a prospective student from Venezuela who would like to study at Berlitz Manchester. As you might be aware of, the student is from Venezuela and needs to apply to CADIVI in order to pay for this course. For that, the student would need to receive by courier mail the letter of acceptance, invoice with breakdown of the price, and class schedule. Nevertheless, the recent changes in the CADIVI policy has made it more complicated for the students to make the payment for the housing of the course, would it be possible to add the price of the housing to the price of the course, so it's shown as only one item for the invoice that the student has to present to CADIVI? Can you prepare the documents like this? Normally we offer the Language International insurance for our students. But for student from Venezuela who have to apply to CADIVI, is not possible to pay it through our website. Do you offer your own health insurance to add it in the invoice of the student? The insurance is included with accommodation, so no extra cost."

Yes, there will be no problem with this, we can do it. The insurance is included with accommodation, so no extra cost.
