Which Path Fits Your Schedule?

Learning formats built around your availability

Different people need different structures. Some thrive with weekly momentum, others prefer concentrated immersion. Both approaches cover identical material and lead to the same proficiency level—the difference lies in how the hours are distributed across your calendar.

Weekly Format

Two evenings per week over twelve weeks. Consistent rhythm lets you absorb material gradually and practice between sessions.

Intensive Format

Three full days across a single weekend. Complete immersion accelerates learning when you can dedicate uninterrupted focus.

Flexible Scheduling

Both formats offer multiple start dates throughout the year. You choose when to begin based on your current commitments.

Identical Outcomes

Both paths cover the same curriculum depth. Your certificate and skill level are determined by mastery, not by which schedule you followed.

How did previous participants decide?

"I initially wanted the intensive format because it seemed faster. Then I realized I'd have nowhere to use the language between sessions. The weekly structure gave me time to experiment with phrases at work, notice where I got stuck, then bring those questions back to class. That feedback loop made everything stick."
