6 hours per week (minimum 12 weeks to learn all topics)

Lessons will take place on Monday and Tuesday, as well as the third lesson on either Wednesday or Thursday.

Why Wednesday or Thursday?

Sometimes, it is not always possible to study on certain days of the week, whether this is due to a current job or other personal commitments, therefore, you have the choice to choose between either Wednesday or Thursday.

The topics of discussion taught on Wednesday and Thursday are identical, therefore, if you can not attend one day, feel free to attend the other.

To complete all units and topics, you will need to study for at least 12 weeks.

Does this mean that you will be ready to take the Cambridge Certificate Test after 12 weeks?

Most likely, but this will be dependant on personal commitment. If you have been studying hard during the course, the possibilities of passing the test are much higher, however, it is recommended that if you wish to take the exam, you should consult your teacher beforehand to understand whether they believe you are at a suitable level to take the test.

*The number of weeks of study, in regards to preparation for the exam, will vary from student to student.

16 hours per week (minimum 6 weeks to learn all the topics)

Lessons will take place from Monday to Friday.

This course is ideal for students wishing to take an intensive course, perhaps during a short-break period between a job and/or other commitments.

In order to study all units and topics, it is encouraged that students who wish to study this course study for the entire 6-week period.

Does this mean that you will be ready to take the Cambridge Certificate Test after 6 weeks?

Most likely, but this will be dependant on personal commitment. If you have been studying hard during the course, the possibilities of passing the test are much higher, however, it is recommended that if you wish to take the exam, you should consult your teacher beforehand to understand whether they believe you are at a suitable level to take the test.
