If there are fewer than 3 participants in a standard course Group 12, or only 1
participant in a small group in the afternoon intensive course , the school reserves the
right to reduce the lessons from 90 to 60 minutes per teaching-unit double lesson. If a
group in a standard course has fewer than 6, or a Group 5 course has fewer than 3
participants, the school will reduce the number of lessons from 20 to 15 per week, as the
teaching is more intensive in a smaller group.
