We can not be held accountable for problems such as vehicles breaking down but we will do our best to meet you punctually. Also please note that we are not allowed into the arrivals hall of the airport so we will meet you just outside with a name plate. The area is not big and it should be easy to find each other.

Responsibility of the learner:
While it is the responsibility of CLCT to provide the means and encouragement for each learner to acquire language proficiency and contextual perception, it is to be understood that the primary responsibility for acquisition lies not only with the school and the teacher but with the individual learner. In order that all learners are expected to take responsibility of their learning and commit himself/herself to a structured course of language study.
