Attendance

Enrolling in the International Class is a serious engagement. We ask of every student enrolled in the course to attend at least 80% of the classes. If you are absent more than 20% of the time, we reserve the right not to award you the credit.

English as a working language

The working language of the International Class is English. An intermediate or upper intermediate level of English is necessary, particularly for students staying for the apprenticeship. The level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) would be B1/B2.

Insurance

To enroll in the International Class, you need a third party liability insurance. You can either show proof of your insurance translated into English when you arrive in Belgium. Or you chose the third party liability insurance by the Interactum consortium and you pay for it at the start of the International Class (31 January 2011). For more information, see FAQ.

Accommodation

We can offer help in finding accommodation if you enroll before 1 November 2011.

Please note that you may have to look for a youth hostel yourself if you arrive before 6th of February or leave after 2nd of May 2012, or after 15th of June.
