Class Description:

These non-credit classes are designed to accommodate the adult learner and are
considerate of the adults' specific interests and needs. The instructor uses a textbook that
includes themes and topics that are of interest to adults. The classes are low-tech and are
focused on face-to-face communication and interaction. Furthermore, the pace and
progress of learning are adjusted to adults who work and hence have limited time available
for studying; or have been away from any formal classroom learning and have to develop a
learning routine. These classes are not suitable for teenagers or younger children.

  • Classes are held once a week for 2 hours (120 minutes).
  • A minimum of 6 students is necessary to hold a class.
  • Payment has to be received one week before class. Full payment is required to
    guarantee enrollment.
  • No refunds or discounts for late enrollment, early withdrawal, or missed classes. Full
    refund for any cancelled class.
All rights reserved.
