Student Services
We help you feel comfortable in our school
ORIENTATION
To help the student in choosing the most suitable vocational course, CERCAL offers an individual orientation service, that consists of an interview appointment and a guided tour of the classrooms and labs. It’s an important meeting, both for the student and the school, which reflects all the interests and aspirations of the person, and helps him/her understand better the programs and methodologies of CERCAL school, and the professional possibilities in the leather and foortwear fields and the relations that the school maintains with the footwear companies.
For foreign students, the interview can be made via phone or through Skype.
Cercal institutional orientation activities are extended to all the students attending Secondary Schools, through seminars and workshops aimed at knowing the world of footwear and leather design and production. These initiatives are organised in association with the support of Assocalzaturifici.
Furthermore, during Open Days, Cercal opens its classrooms to everyone willing to visit the school, proposing dedicated seminars and the participation to specific lessons.
VISA AND RESIDENCY PERMIT
Cercal assists its foreign students in the preparation of all the documents requierd to obtain a student visa.
Visa must be required in students’ own country attaching all the declarations given by the school.
