Information on the organization of this course
Course start guaranteed. This course will take place, no matter how many students are enrolled. This is possible without extra charge thanks to a flexible linear adjustment of the lesson length according to the principle: the fewer the number of participants, the more intensive the learning; the more participants, the longer the lesson. The lesson duration is adjusted proportionally to the number of participants and is complemented through self-study as follows:
6–7 participants: 180 mins. lesson time
5 participants: 120 mins. + self-study
3–4 participants: 100 mins. + self-study
2 participants: 80 mins. + self-study
1 participant: 50 mins. + self-study
The achievable learning goal is rated equally for all these options provided the self-study requirements are fulfilled.
