Welcome to the Varadi Institute ! Here you will take dynamic and effecient courses given by highly
qualified professors, according to the dates and schedules you have choosen.
The choice of your program will be determinded by a free test or a trial lesson which will entail
no commitment.
The length of a lesson is 45 minutes.
The first lesson entails no commitment: The student does not pay the annual registration fees
and registers only after he/she has taken the trial lesson.
If resgistration occurs, the the trial lesson is considered as the first lesson of the program.
If the student decides not to register, then only the fees of the trial lesson are due.
MODE OF PAYMENT
The lessons are billed every term.
In exceptional cases the possibility to pay month by month can be granded upon request.
The price of the lessons has to be paid before the beginning of each term or, in the case of
monthly payment, before the start of each month.
For each registration a contract is drawn in order to cover the fees of the pedagogical material
and the administrative fees for the calendar year in progress. This sum is Fr. 85.- per subject
in the Department of Languages and Fr. 100.- per subject in the Department of Secretarial and
Computer Studies.
