Hi everyone,

Ana Hernández has moved from Parets where she was the centre secretary to Granollers where she is the in-company secretary. As such she will now be the person getting in touch with you if there is anything to communicate about your in-company classes: student changes, cancellations, register queries, etc. You can contact her via email on ana.hernandez@cambridgeschool.com.

Good luck Ana!
