Please note:
Since 1995 all our courses have taken place in
the school premises and have been held by our
qualified and experienced teaching staff. We are not a school
selling courses which afterwards other schools or institutes take
charge of. That is why we offer
only a selected choice of courses, whose programmes
and schedule have been tested and improved throughout these years. |
