Benefits
Some of the benefits offered depend on the number of courses in the teacher's schedule. There are three categories of schedules:
Full-time - the teacher has at least twenty-four 45-minute lessons a week in their schedule.
Part-time - the teacher has between ten and twenty-three 45-minute lessons a week in their schedule.
Minor - the teacher has nine or fewer 45-minute lessons a week in their schedule.
The discounts for language courses, prep courses and professional training are subject to the following rules:
1 group course = any group language/preparatory/professional course
The discounts can be used for not more than two group courses (of any type) in a school year and not more than one course in each trimester. The trimesters are as follows:
September–December
January–April
May–August
Note 1: It may happen that a course will not start or that there will not be a free spot.
Note 2: Individual language courses do not fall under the limit of the two group courses per school year and the discount on these courses can be applied extra.
