Our group lessons are dynamic, you will learn in reduced groups of maximum 4 people. The ´buddy system¨, 2 people sharing one set of equipment, allows you to have some time to recover forces and concentration, while also learning from and with your buddy.
- 3h or 4h of group lesson per day; we recommend 4h per day to get the most out of it
- the progress depends on the prevailing conditions, the student and the amount of hours per day. As a basic guideline below you can see, what an average student learns during the different days in 4 hours per day, if he starts from zero.
- If a student has already done something, we will put him in a group of his level. So he can save himself some time and doesn´t need to repeat everything.
