April registration can be made during March by entering www.csv.go.cr website or by calling the following “call center” number: 900- 0101010.

On the first day of classes, the interested party must present a certificate issued by the corresponding Regional Directorate of Education, to prove that the person did not complete primary studies, as well as the receipt of payment of registration fee, issued by the national banking system and an identification document.

If you are a foreigner, you must present a Certificate from the Ministry of Education of the Country, which is certified by the Consulate and Embassy of the country of origin, indicating your condition of incomplete studies in primary school. Likewise, the interested party must sign an affidavit provided by Road Education.
