Terms 2021

Important information for everyone interested in our airbrushing courses.
Usually we hold them twice a year: one in MAY and one in OCTOBER. But since both the school and the borders were closed from the end of March, together with our students we agreed that as soon as quarantine is off and the borders are open, we’ll choose a new date for the course. Now Russia in open for 51 countries!

It will be October 1st. Since there are student who booked places for the course last year, there are just a few places available now.

The schedule

15 days - the whole studying period. Daily training sessions will last up to 10 hours (depending on a student’s progress).

+ 1 extra day - 30 arrival (We recommend our students to arrive earlier in the day to settle in and have enough time to rest).
+ 3 days off between workshops during which students will be taken on tours around Saint-Petersburg.
+ 1 extra day -  19 - departure (We recommend to depart later in the day, to have time for photos, celebration and completion of works in case there was not enough time).

Total: 20 days in Russia.

Accommodation 

The total cost includes accommodation for 20 days, two people per room. 

For this course we will book an entire beautiful apartment in the Historical Center of Saint-Petersburg for exactly 19 nights.

On school days our driver will take the students from the apartment to the school and back.

Tours

3 tours with English-speaking guides:

If you want a more extensive entertainment program outside of the study, come to Saint-Petersburg in advance or stay here after the course. 

Important! Organization of recreatinal activities after the class hours is up to you. 

Russian Visa

The issue of getting a Russian visa is to be solved by the student. We recommend to apply for the easiest type to obtain - Tourist visa. The average term for issuing a visa is about 2 weeks. Deal with this in advance.                                                                                                   

If you need an invitation letter to apply for the visa, we will help with obtaining it.

IMPORTANT. Arrival and departure time


The classes will start at 10 a.m. on October 1, the last day of the course is October 18.
Students purchase plane tickets to Russia on their own.

We recommend to buy tickets with the arrival to Saint-Petersburg on  September 30 (to settle in and have time to rest), and departure from Russia on October 19, as students often stay up late on the last day to finilaze their works.


The apartment will be available from 2 p.m. on 30 of September  to noon on 19 of October.
If your departure will be later, you could leave your luggage at the school and go to the airport straight from there.

Please coordinate the arrival and departure dates with us prior to purchasing your tickets to Russia.

A school's representative will meet you at the airport.
