Program details to confirm

Priced by the month rather than by the week or the session, so no weekly rate is derived. TOEFL preparation is offered at the same rates. A one-time $150 registration fee is separate from the monthly tuition. The school says programs start at the beginning of each month; confirm the exact date and availability before applying.

The school's ESL program description says 20 hours a week; the length of a class hour is not specified. Monthly tuition is not converted to a weekly rate.

Do you need a visa for this program?

The school reports a weekly class load of 20; its unit may not equal 60 minutes. For this course at California Language School, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.
