Program
Examination
At the start of the course each student who already has some knowledge of grammar, will take a written test to determine his/her appropriate course level.
At the end of the course students take a final exam on the materials studied and receive a certificate from the Institute. For the oral exam in the fourth course, the student is asked to prepare a thesis on a topic agreed upon with the teacher (customs, history, art, etc.) while the written exam will cover course materials. The student will then receive the Institute Diploma.
