- Express and defend an opinion in a structured way.
- Follow longer exchanges and explanations.

96 hours of lessons at a fixed pace of 2 hours per week
Level 3 provides a total credit of 96 hours of one-to-one lessons. This plan is organized 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 private lessons in total.
- 2 hours of lessons per week.
- 48 weeks as a learning target.
- 12 monthly payments, each corresponding to 8 hours.
- A dedicated teacher to follow the student’s progress.
Your hour credit remains available until it is used
If lessons are rescheduled because of holidays, authorized absences or a temporary pause, the remaining hours are not lost. You can continue lessons beyond 48 weeks and after the twelfth payment until the remaining credit is used.
Absences, rescheduling and temporary pauses
- A lesson reported at least 3 hours in advance can be moved to the end of the schedule.
- Rescheduling is possible up to 3 absences per month.
- If these conditions are not met, the lesson is deducted from your hour credit.
- A temporary pause in lessons is possible.
- During a pause, monthly payments continue and unstudied hours are moved to the end of the schedule.
- The subscription is a commitment over 12 monthly payments.
Level validation and progression through the program
- Moving to the next stage depends on the teacher validating the learning objectives.
- If the level is validated before all 96 hours are used, the remaining credit is kept for the rest of the program.
- If all 96 hours are used but the objectives are not yet fully acquired, additional hours can be added through the Flex option.
Assessment and level validation
Your teacher regularly assesses your listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary and command of the structures studied.
Validation is based on skills actually acquired. The goal is to move you forward when the foundations are sufficiently solid, 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 validation.
- Remaining credit is retained when the level is validated before 96 hours are used.
