How to pause the course?
If you have a course that includes vacation/breaks and you want to request them, you must notify the school 10 days in advance to the following email address: escuela.barcelona@expanish.com
Breaks will NOT be accepted and will not be considered approved if the corresponding email is not sent.
What happens when I come back from my vacation?
You will go back to the same level and your course period extends at the end, so you don't lose the days that you didn't have class.
How many days can I take?
You can request how many days you want; However it needs to be full weeks, from Monday to Friday and NOT Wednesday to Friday, for example.
What happens with the accommodation if you take some vacation days?
You can leave your belongings at the accommodation.
IMPORTANT: Unlike the Spanish course, the accommodation period does not extend. In other words, if you booked your accommodation until the April 23th and you take a vacation of 1 week, the accommodation period will NOT extend until April 29th.
