Our Customer Care Promise
We are very proud of our language coaching team, proud of the quality of coaching and proud of what our team has managed to achieve over the years.
But ever since the academy opened 12 years ago and throughout the entire journey, we’ve been acutely aware that our success stands or falls on one thing: our ability to deliver to our customers. Our customers are everything to us. Without them, there would be no VICI, and that’s something we remind ourselves every single day.
And that’s why for many years now we’ve had a ‘Customer Care Promise‘ – 27 things that we promise to deliver for our customers including a money-back guarantee, which is unheard of in the language industry.
