Is the program suitable for beginners or only for those with some prior Arabic knowledge?

The program is suitable for students at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, including those with limited or no prior knowledge of Arabic (see basic entry requirements below).

Prior to enrollment, applicants are required to take a placement test to determine their current level of Arabic and will thereafter be placed within one of eight possible levels. Each of these levels are designed to dramatically improve upon the student's existing knowledge of written and spoken Arabic, and thereafter advance them on to the subsequent levels as efficiently and quickly as possible.
