SEMANA SANTA DAYS OFF

As you all know, Easter week is drawing near and some companies and students would like to take the whole week off. So, we suggest you finding out from your students whether your classes are going to take place on April 18-19-20th. If the classes you have on either of the days are cancelled must be notified by the student or the HR Department to us on recepcion@sat-set.com. In the event that these classes are cancelled and you're in town during those days, we can try and get you some sub classes, but please let us know your intentions for that given week.

Thanks a lot! Don't forget to ask your students about their Easter holidays. 

BTW, if you see fit, you can also inform your students, that during Easter week SAT & SET is offering special one to one prices and a "bring a friend along" discount. So tell them to log on to our website www.sat-set.com to find out more details about this offer.

NEW INTERNAL STRUCTURE IN SAT & SET

In an attempt to improve the way we do things here at SAT & SET we've taken an important decision regarding the internal strucutre of departments which surely does affect you. Here's what we've done.

Department of Coordination (Department of Studies MADRID: Caroline Boyd, Monica Vallejo and Susana Lías & BARCELONA: Lissette King & Nuria Ayma) This department will be in charge of the coordination (assigning teachers, time-tables, attendance sheets, evaluations) of all the courses and classes that SAT & SET has. Not only the regular in-company classes or regular intensives, but also the coordination of all the Specific Courses. If you do have any questions regarding any of the previous topics, please refer to the department of Coordination.

Department of Course Content (Department of Specific Courses) (Rohit Daswani and Marina Tsygankova): This department will be in charge of giving you advice on what material to use and how to use it in your classes, let it be a regular in-company classes or a specific seminar or immersion course. From the  next course onwards the Department of Course Content will let you know which are the best books, resources and materials to use in order to maximize the time spent during your classes.

Both departments will still continue with their traditional names of Department of Studies and Department of Specific Courses until the transition has been effectively carried out.

Please don't hesitate to contact any of us for whatever reason concerning the new company organization.
