96 hours of lessons at a fixed pace of 2 hours per week
Level 3 includes a total credit of 96 hours of one-to-one lessons. This plan is organised at 2 hours per week, with a learning target of 48 weeks.
Payment is spread over 12 monthly payments of 8 hours. The 48 weeks are a reference pace, not a deadline for using the hours you have purchased.
- 96 hours of one-to-one lessons in total.
- 2 hours of lessons per week.
- 48 weeks as the learning target.
- 12 monthly payments, each covering 8 hours.
- A dedicated teacher who follows the student’s progress.
Your lesson credit remains available until it is used
If lessons are postponed because of holidays, authorised absences or a temporary pause, the remaining hours are not lost. You may continue beyond the 48 weeks and after the twelfth monthly payment until all remaining credit has been used.
Absences, rescheduling and temporary pauses
- A lesson cancelled at least 3 hours in advance can be moved to the end of the schedule.
- Rescheduling is possible up to a maximum of 3 absences per month.
- If these conditions are not met, the lesson is deducted from your lesson credit.
- You may temporarily pause your lessons.
- During a pause, monthly payments continue and lessons not taken are rescheduled.
- The subscription involves a commitment of 12 monthly payments.
Level assessment and progression through the programme
- Moving to the next stage depends on the teacher confirming that the learning objectives have been achieved.
- If the level is passed before all 96 hours are used, the remaining credit is carried over to the rest of the programme.
- If all 96 hours are used but the objectives have not yet been fully achieved, additional hours can be added through the Flex option.
Assessment and level validation
Your teacher regularly assesses your listening comprehension, ability to respond, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency and command of the structures studied.
Validation is based on the skills you have genuinely acquired. You move forward once the foundations of the level are sufficiently secure, not simply when the planned number of hours has been reached.
- Continuous assessment during lessons.
- Targeted revision of points that still need work.
- End-of-level assessment.
- Al-Dirassa certificate after successful validation.
- Remaining credit is kept if the level is passed before 96 hours are used.
