Rent Your Textbook. Save Money!!
Here are a couple of reasons why renting a book is a great savings idea:
If you decide not to pursue your Spanish language classes, you could return it.
You do not have to spend extra money when you advance to the next level by purchasing new books. You may rent the next books out with the same deposit when returning the previous book.
More importantly, certain schools boast that they do not charge for learning material (books). However, what some of them do is photo copy the book(s) which cheats the author, as well as being copyright infringement. This is illegal and against publisher’s policies. Sign up at IMAC. Get the best instruction and save money.
Now you can save a bundle by simply putting down a deposit of the textbook’s cost, $33.00 USD.
When you return the book- in mint condition- (not written, torn or worn out) you will get back $28.00 USD. This means only a $5.00 USD cost for the use of original materials for as long as your course lasts. If you decide to keep the book, then the deposit will cover the cost of the book.
ISIC Card, Discounts around the world:
A new global partnership forged between IMAC and The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) will benefit
you and all our students worldwide. Every year more than 4.5 million students from 120 countries use their
student card. ISIC is the only globally recognized student ID in over 120 countries offering 40,000 + discounts
on plane, train, boat tickets, restaurants, museums; the list is endless, all this as you travel abroad and a
wealth of benefits closer to home.
More than 250 universities and colleges around the globe have chosen ISIC for a partnership.
Discounts are likely to reach and benefit a huge proportion of students who are keen to travel
and see their world, and IMAC is excited to offer you this world of opportunity.
NOTE: Please keep in
mind; schools that offer what seems like many class hours per day. A
great
price may be taking into account all the time when there is a teacher
present
in an activity which may not always involve language learning. The
class hours
that we offer, ALL involve formal learning under a structured program
with
students at your same group level and your official teacher, PLUS the
varied activities, where an instructor is also
present and our students enjoy at no cost. Want
to save
money? Check the total prices at your school. Is a daily and structured
conversation class free? What about a media lab with the latest and
greatest
software aids? Does you school provide cultural exchanges and movies
free of
charge? Some schools do not charge for registration, but in the end,
you pay
more in higher prices, airport pick up, homestay placement fees, etc.

What makes IMAC Spanish Language Programs different from other providers:
- You will be studying at an institution accredited by the Instituto Cervantes as an official examination center for the Diploma in Spanish as
a Foreign Language in Guadalajara, Mexico, widely known as DELE (Diploma de Español como lengua Extanjera). We must mention that we are
the only accredited examination center in our region; and we are perhaps the only language center in Mexico with official accreditation
for DELE testing from both, The Ministry for Education of Spain and The Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language from The Secretary of
Education of Mexico.
The Instituto Cervantes is a public organism based in Spain and commissioned with regulating and standardizing the
instruction of Spanish worldwide. With presence in 4 continents, this organization admits and recognizes only institutions,
like ours, which are committed to quality, efficiency, and above all excellence in the instruction of the Spanish language.
- IMAC Spanish Language Programs has been an accredited educational institute since 1976. We are proud members of
several leading industry organizations such as:
ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents),
ALTO (Association of Language Travel Organizations),
AATSP (American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese),
TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages),
ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) and
AMCHAM (American Chamber of Commerce) among others.
- Cultural exchange programs with our more than 2000+ English students
- We have been designated as a Socially Responsible Company. This honor was given by CEMEFI.org (Mexican Center for
Philanthropy) for working with orphans, workshops for family values, and other philanthropic activities.
- You are strongly encouraged to maximize your learning by attending our Multimedia Lab an additional hour
daily, 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. No extra fee.
- As an added advantage, you will pay your home-stay family directly. Unlike many other institutions, we charge
no home-stay placement fee or hidden commissions for this service. Please bring the necessary cash or traveler's
checks to exchange for cash.
- Since our courses are designed to be taken by one week programs, you may attend our Spanish classes from
as little as one week, to as long as desired. Please note that after paying your registration fee you do not have to
pay this fee again when returning.
- You will be able to take advantage of additional discounts if you take more than four weeks of classes. In order to receive the
tuition discount you must cover your full tuition on your first day of classes.
