1. When can I start my courses?
If you are studying English, you can start on any Monday. However, we suggest that you start on our official starting dates each month.

2. How much does it cost to come to your school?
It depends on what program you wish to take. Please take a look at our fee schedule.

3. When should I register and when do I have to pay?
The earlier you register, the earlier your place is confirmed in the school. We want to accept all students, but if all classes are full, we might not be able to accept.

Here is the order of the application:

  • You send your application form.
  • We send official invoices.
  • You can make payment by bank transfer or credit card (Visa/Mastercard). If you are in Los Angeles you may also make payment with cash or a personal check.
  • We will send your official letter of acceptance and book your accommodation (if you have asked for this).

    4. What happens if I cancel?
    Please see the GEOS Los Angeles Cancellation Policy.

    5. How much money should I bring with me?
    Besides your classes, you will probably need a minimum of $1000 per month for accommodation and spending money.

    6. How do I register?
    Please fill out our application form and send it to the school. We should return invoices to you within 1 business day.

    7. Do I need a TOEFLŪ test score to enter GEOS Los Angeles?
    No, you do not need a TOEFL score to enter the school. However, for those students who do want to study for the TOEFL test, we do have a TOEFL Ibt preparation course.

    8. Can I choose the courses that I want right now and be sure I will get them?
    If you register for a full-time or part-time course, that course is guaranteed to be running when you are here at the school.

    9. How do you decide what level I am at before I take classes?
    On your first morning, you will be given a placement test and an orientation. Your placement test measures speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We will know your level after giving you this test.

    10. Do I get a diploma or certificate when I finish?
    Yes. GEOS gives a certificate to all of our students who attend at least 80% of their courses.

    11. What is the materials fee?
    All students are given textbooks for our classes. The materials fee covers the cost of these textbooks.

    12. I am trying to register online but I don't think it is working. Do I need to change something in my computer?
    Please contact the school if you are having problems registering. We can send you an application form by email.

    13. Can I take a break from my classes if I want to go on a trip for a week or two?
    Students can take a 2-week vacation for every 12 weeks they are studying. If you are studying for less than 12 weeks, there is no vacation available, unless this is discussed with the school at the time of your enrolment.

    14. Can I go from one GEOS school to another? Are there any extra fees for doing this?
    There are no transfer fees to move from one GEOS school to another in North America. However, if you are moving to a school with higher fees, then you are responsible for the difference in tuition.

    15. Can I work while I am in Canada studying at GEOS?
    No. Students with a visitor visa are not allowed to work. Students with a student visa must be attending a study-work program.
