Characteristics of the conversational course

 

The Conversational 1 course is the first course of the Conversational Chinese program offered by the Confucius Institute of the University of Costa Rica. This program is divided into four levels: Conversational 1, Conversational 2, Conversational 3, Conversational 4. This course is designed with the primary goal of increasing the Chinese language proficiency of eligible students or professionals who possess pre-existing professional knowledge, skills or training, but the limitation of not speaking Chinese prevents them from joining the labor force, finding a new job, getting a promotion or transfer abroad, going on business or studying abroad.

 

This is a course that is taught for 3 hours each session for a total of 39 hours.

 

It is important to note that some classes may be taught in English.

Refunds for tuition

 

Money refunds will be applied only in cases of group closure. Likewise, if by mistake a sum greater than the registration amount is charged, the corresponding refund will be made.

The procedure for the refund of the money consists of filling out the MONEY RETURN FORM which can be found attached below this information or withdrawn at the Institute's reception. You have 5 working days once the closure of the group has been notified to carry out the procedure, otherwise the refund will not be applied.
