Modular and Flexi system
Our classes are modular which means if you miss any session, you can make up for the missed session in another batch. The content in every session is independent of one another and will not affect your flow in learning and we can arrange for you to make up for the missed lesson in another batch. Example, should you miss Lesson 2 due to your busy schedule, you can go for Lesson 3 and make up for Lesson 2 in a separate batch.
