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.
