Published programme facts
Official 2026 programme material reviewedSIOC separates published programme facts from items that must be reconfirmed for the student’s exact dates.
Classes, level placement and outcomes
The published teaching format is 15 hours/week, with Age-grouped. Placement, beginner start rules, timetable and any intensive or private-lesson supplement are confirmed before the course is invoiced. A short stay should be measured by speaking confidence, listening and practical language use—not by a guaranteed jump through several CEFR levels.
A realistic day and weekly rhythm
The normal pattern combines lessons with team sports, cultural visits, outdoor and nature activities, half- and full-day excursions and organised evening events. Weather, group size, local events and specialist-provider availability can change the order of activities. The final weekly timetable is issued by the provider.
