LANGUAGE GROUP COURSES - G
Language courses are composed of three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, each of which are subdivided into three further levels. Besides these nine levels, there are an additional two which are applied for those cases where students do not fall into one of the nine, so that almost every month there are eleven levels offered. This wide range of classes at different levels means that students can join the level most suited to their needs based on their test results. Each level lasts four weeks although one can attend the school for a minimum of two weeks or for a maximum of thirty-six weeks; there is only one stipulation: beginners must start the course at the beginning of the month. Each lesson lasts 60 minutes.
