    • My Flywire link has arrived. What do I do?

      Once we have processed your course details, you will receive a link requesting your Flywire online payment. This may take a few hours after we send for you before you receive it (but make sure that the email has not gone into your junk mail during this time).

      If you still haven’t successfully received notification by this time, please get in touch with our team at customersupport@bellenglish.com and we will arrange for something to be resent.
