What kind of insurance do I need? Scuola Tricolore has a 'collective'
student liability insurance in the school area. We also advice you to take a
general holiday insurance at your insurance company.
6.
What is the average age range of the participants? The average age
of participants is between 20 and 30 years old. There are of course older and
younger students participating in our programs.
7. Do most people go on the program alone? Yes, a large majority
of participants go by themselves, so it's easy to make friends. You are in the
same boat as everyone else, so you won't be alone.
8.
How long do most people study for? Most people study for 4, 5 weeks
(on average).
9. How early should I enroll? The sooner you enrol, the better it is
especially in relation to the availability of courses and accommodation. But
occasionally we receive subscriptions only a week up to some days before course
commencement. The ideal moment would be 4 or 6 weeks before the course starts.
10. Should I take 6 or 4 hours per day? It depends on you. Six hours
of class time will enable you to learn more, but it also requires being in class
most of the day and, after class, a lot of studying and homework.
11. What if I need to cancel after the program starts? There are no
refunds after the program has started. You are however always entitled to continue
the course on a future date.
12.
What is Genoa famous for and can I get additional information on that?
Genoa has a rich history and it has the biggest medieval
city centre in Europe. Genoa, in fact, dates back to pre-Roman times. It is
surrounded both by the mountains, with a vast and impressive network of walls
that protected Genoa from invasions by land and by the sea, which boasts the
second biggest harbour in the Mediterranean. Furthermore, Genoa is the home
of many famous Italian specialities, such as pesto and olive oil. If you would
like to know more about Genoa or Liguria (the province), you can consult some
links we have added to our site to consult diverse topics on Genoa, including
a 'virtual spectator'. Just

How do I find my accommodation on arrival at the airport/ train station?
The school sends you the address and directions on how to reach your accommodation,
including the prices for a bus ticket or estimated taxi fair.
14.
Where do most students come from? Our students come from all over the
world. Many of the students come from Japan, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland,
The Netherlands, U.S.A., Australia, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, France,
UK, Spain and Russia. Furthermore, we receive more and more information requests
form other Asian countries, South American countries and African countries.
15.
Can I change to a different course or temporarily interrupt a program during
the course? Generally this is possible. We however only 'reschedule'
on a weekly basis. Our programs are designed to be flexible. Extension of courses
is neither a problem.
16.
What happens if I am placed in a class that is not my level? Our thorough
assessment will limit this to a minimum, if not exclude it. If you still think
this is the case you should inform your teacher, who will immediately reschedule
and direct you to the proper class and level and provide you with new studying
material.
17.
How can I pay for the course? Scuola Tricolore requires a down payment
of €200,- to reserve both course and accommodation. You could pay either
by bank transfer, international post money order, or by credit card online.
The later option is available at a 4% charge. The course residual and accommodation
can be paid on arrival. The school accepts credit card payment (except for American
Express).
18.
At what time are the classes scheduled? Group classes always start
at 9:30 in the morning, except for the first course day, as you will be asked
to come to school 45 minutes earlier for the entrance test. Individual classes
are typically scheduled after lunch, but can also be scheduled late-afternoon,
evening or in certain cases in the morning.
