COURSE INFO

DURATION: 10 weeks

Units: 30 units á 45 minutes

Participants: 3-12

Location: Lyngbyvej 11, 2100 København Ø

Group size

We are convinced that small course groups increase the learning outcome for our students and therefore limit course group size to max. 12 students. In case of there being less than 5 students signed up for a class, we shorten the course from 10 to 8 weeks, because our experience is that intensive courses with a very small students number (3 or 4) increase learing speed and the course material can be covered in less time. It is however not possible to hold a course with less than 3 students and in this case we calcel the class and refund the course fee.

Course format

The course consist of one weekly teaching sessions (3 units á 45 minutes), homework and revision.

Weekly time commitment

Students can expect to invest at least 2 hours weekly outside the classroom for practise and homework. The more time invested the more the learning outcome!
