What local fees do I pay on arrival for a 4-week dormitory stay?
About PHP 18,940 (roughly USD 305), paid in Philippine pesos in cash on arrival: SSP and I-Card PHP 12,040, Management Fee PHP 2,000 (PHP 500 per week), refundable Deposit PHP 3,000, Textbooks PHP 1,400 and School ID PHP 500. These local fees are in addition to your course and accommodation fees. Electricity is charged at actual use and deducted from your deposit.
Which days can I start my course?
Courses start every Monday and can be as short as 1 week. If your requested date is not a Monday, the nearest Monday is offered. Check-in is on the Sunday before, and check-out is on the Saturday after your last class.
What is the minimum age, and which course suits children?
ESL and general courses are open from age 15, and Business English suits students from about 18. Children under 15 take the Kids Course (6 one-on-one lessons a day), which is aimed at children from first grade of elementary school (age 6) up to age 15. Children can join from around age 4 as long as they can sit and follow a lesson, so please tell us your child's age and how they are in class. See the Parent & Child program for details.
Are meals included every day, including weekends?
Yes. The dormitory price includes three meals every day, including weekends and holidays. Snacks and drinks are not provided and are at your own expense; there is a 7-Eleven on the ground floor of the building.
Which nationalities can enter visa-free, and do I need a visa in advance?
Citizens of many countries, including Korea, Russia, Turkey, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, can enter the Philippines visa-free for 30 days without applying in advance. Brazil and Israel get 59 days. You need a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return or onward ticket and eTravel registration within 72 hours before arrival. Rules can change, so please check the latest requirements for your passport with the Philippine embassy or official sources.
Do I need to book in advance, and how early should I apply?
You apply first; there is no separate booking step. You can apply for any month and there is no fixed deadline as long as space is available, but rooms in the new dormitory fill up quickly, so please apply as early as possible through the inquiry form. A quotation is valid for one month.
Where is the school, and how can I contact you?
3D ACADEMY is at 5/F MIT Building 2, Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City 6000, Philippines. Phone: +63-32-402-4839. Email: info@3d-universal.com. The internal dormitory and the classrooms are in the same building.
