Closed/Disabled Accounts:

If your parent account was previously locked and you were unable to complete an application, please try the account again. 

It is important that you refer to the Language Finder to see where your preferred language is available – we recommend that you write this down.   When you resume your application in the Compass portal you must be sure to select only that Area where the Centre is attached, and that you choose the Centre and language when that screen follows.

Please be aware that some classes are filling fast and may not be available in 2025. The Language Finder will be updated periodic to reflect this.
