You take a placement test the first day at school.
Do I receive any certification or documents by the end of the course?
You receive a student progress report and a certificate at the end of your studies. The certificate will not be given if you miss more than 20% of your classes.

In ILSC there are 10 different levels: 4 beginner levels, 4 intermediate levels and 2 advanced levels.
What is the schedule of classes? Hours per week?
It depends on whether it’s a full-time intensive, full time or part-time am/pm schedule, but it goes from 25 weekly hours to around 10 hours for the PM part-time schedule.
