Our payment plan requires a monthly subscription fee which is due on the 1st day of every month.
The client takes a level test because it helps to approximate their language proficiency level. This way, they can be placed in the most appropriate class without wasting time and money. The link to the level test can be found in the first contact email from Almacén de Idiomas to the client. To attend our classes, you will need the following tools: - A computer (preferably) or a mobile phone/tablet. - A notebook for taking notes. - Bibliographic material in digital or paper format. - A Gmail email address. - The educational platform that we indicate for the class.
In order to participate in the class, students must have a device such as a computer, phone or tablet. Notes may be taken in a notebook and bibliographic material should be available in digital or paper format. The use of Gmail and the recommended educational platform is also encouraged.
If you have technical problems, we suggest having everything in place a few hours or days before the platforms for access to the class. In case you need help, you can communicate via WhatsApp to our number, where we will guide you. It is important that you do this hours before the class in order to take advantage of it.
In case of a missed class due to connection problems, we highly encourage communication between our students and their tutor teachers. At Almacén de Idiomas, we recommend that the student communicate with their tutor teacher via email or WhatsApp to receive the contents learned during that class and catch up for the next one. This will ensure that the student is up-to-date and doesn't fall behind on their language learning journey.
If the client pays and starts the classes but cannot continue due to personal problems, Almacén de Idiomas does not refund money in these cases. Therefore, it is suggested that the client enrols and starts once they have their timetable available and the certainty that they will be able to take the months they consider necessary.
A refund and/or change (subject to availability of places by the company) can only be made within the first 6 classes of the chosen course, and only for reasons of non-conformity associated with the academic methodology of Almacén de Idiomas. If more than 6 classes have been completed since the purchase, no refund and/or exchange of any kind will be offered.

This message will be received by both the Academic Manager and Administrative Manager, who will assist you with the refund process. Thank you for your understanding.

Criteria for Refunds At Almacén de Idiomas, we strive to provide the best language-learning experience to our clients. However, we understand that there may be situations where a refund is necessary. Please find our refund policy below: Eligibility for Refunds and Exchanges:
Customers who are dissatisfied with the teaching system, methodology, or teachers are eligible for refunds and exchanges.
- A full refund will be given if the client's expectations are not met within the first three lessons.
A partial refund will be given if the client's expectations are not met within the fourth and sixth scheduled lessons, regardless of whether or not the client has participated in the agreed lessons.
Clients with Own Problems:
No refund will be given even if there is a notice from the client for
difficulties with the time/day assigned to the class. In such cases, the client can request a change of time/day, subject to the availability of Almacén de Idiomas.
If there is availability, the class schedule will be changed. If there is no availability, the client will not be eligible for a refund.
The client regrets starting or continuing with the classes. We hope this policy provides clarity on our refund process. Please note that all refund requests must be made in writing to our customer service team.
If a customer overpays by mistake,
the excess amount is taken as a credit balance for the next fee. This means that the customer's account will show a positive balance that can be applied to the next payment due. It is important to note that the credit balance cannot be refunded to the customer, but it can be used to pay for future fees. If the customer has any questions or concerns about their account balance, they should reach out to the administration for assistance.
Once the request for a refund due to non-conformity is received, we will send an email to acknowledge that we have received the notification. After 72 working hours, we will inform you whether the refund has been approved or rejected.
If the refund is approved, the financial entity will automatically apply the credit to the original payment method. The timeline for the availability of the money to the client will depend on the specific policies of the financial entity, but typically it can take a few business days for the refund to be processed and for the funds to become available.
Overdue or missing reimbursements:
If the refund has been approved by Almacén de Idiomas and it does not impact the customer's account, no further action is needed from the customer's end. However, if the refund has not been received, the customer can check their bank account and contact the bank or credit institution with which the payment was made. It is possible that it may take some time before the refund is officially issued.
These policies apply to any customer who starts a new programme at Almacén de Idiomas.
