The syllabus for each level is composed of 12 Units, which are completed over a period of 6 weeks. We cover 2 units of the course material per week.  Students are only allowed to move to a higher level if they’ve passed the relevant test.  If the student has made an exceptional amount of progress, then the student will be re-assessed and tested for the next level.

Our aim is to create an environment where our students feel comfortable to learn.  For this to happen, our lessons are designed to be fun and interactive, while maintaining a high standard of education.
