All Language Group Classes run Monday to Friday except on official Italian public holidays. On their first day students must be at school by 08.30. One lesson lasts 45 minutes. Group lessons are usually held in the mornings, however occasionally (high season) these group lessons may be scheduled in the afternoon. Individual lessons are generally held in the afternoon.

All students starting the Course on a Non-Starting Date will be placed in a study group that has already started previously. In this case, we strongly suggest that the student also book a Super intensive course for the first week in order to make up for all the units lost.

Individual classes are usually scheduled in the afternoon and have a duration of 45 minutes each. In the case where the school is unable to fulfill any courses to which it is contractually bound because of Force majeure (pandemic, earthquake, fire, natural disaster, and act of government, failure of suppliers or subcontractors, labor disputes) or other reasons which are beyond its control, the school will do its best to mitigate the troubles and will immediately move all the Italian face-to-face Courses ONLINE, respecting the same schedule and duration of onsite courses previously scheduled.
