Course B refers to the school’s Complete course, which is the traditional group format. The class sizes are kept small at just 8 participants, giving each student easy access to their teacher when they would like to ask questions and resolve any language obstacles. All learners on this course are assigned to a group that most corresponds to their current Italian language ability, which is done via a placement test that takes place at the beginning of the course.
If students cannot be placed in an appropriate group due to a lack of students at their level, then they may receive an adapted form of private tuition, in exchange for reducing the total number of class hours.
