Yes. We want to meet you in person and get a full perspective on your talent, motivation and skills. We also find it important that you get to know us and our academy. `The exams will take place on Tuesdays from 10:00 – 16:00 hrs. It is possible to visit the academy the day before to meet with our students, get a tour and ask all your questions.
