"This student is from Venezuela. She needs to apply for a student visa, so she will need the letter of acceptance sent by post and the documents to apply for CADIVI."

Mioko Yahara, Language Schools New Zealand school representative

Recent days we send all required documents for a visa application digitally by email. Sorry what is CADIVI? If she needs the original Letter of Acceptance, which is issued after the payment has been made in full, we can send it to her by normal post (not courier post) with no charge.

Was this helpful? Yes

"The student's level is "intermediate" and is below the minimum required level of "high intermediate" required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? Alternatively, do you have a placement test that we can ask the student to fill out to accurately determine his level?"

Mioko Yahara, Language Schools New Zealand school representative

Attached is the pre-test for Cambridge Exam Preparation course. Please ask the student to complete it and send it back to us so that we can assess his level.
