How the Levels / Modules work ?
- each level is made up of units of learning - Modules- in order to help you organise your learning.
- each Module consists of 24 hours of class study and 16 hours of home study.
- you can choose the dates and plan your progress (from one Module to the next) in a way that fits in with your work or family commitments.
- the time scale we recommend for Entry Level is between 9 and 12 months and for all subsequent Levels, between 9 and 18 months.
- if you are a beginner with no prior knowledge of the language but only with some knowledge of the script and reading, we recommend that you start at the Entry Level.
