Your Schedule, Not Ours

Best Scenario: Start at Week 1 to ride the wave of the new group energy. It’s the most efficient way to build momentum.

Real Life Scenario: Can’t make it for the launch? No problem. Our modular system allows for Seamless Integration at any point in the cycle. We adapt the plan to fit your entry point, so you hit the ground running immediately.

Arrival WeekSafety (Ensures comfort & progress)Challenge (What you must be ready for)
W1Ideal integration: group dynamics + routine from the start.Very low: a few pages/activities to catch up if arriving after Day 1.
W2Entry possible with targeted catch-up plan (level priorities).2–4h of extra catch-up work in the 1st week depending on profile.
W3Can join if diagnostic confirms basics are there.Real catch-up load: autonomy + consistency are essential.
W4Very safe option: start at the previous level to avoid “gaps”.If maintaining current level: risk of gaps that quickly slow you down.
W5Secure recommendation: previous level + consolidation.Joining current level is rarely profitable (too many spiraling concepts).
W6Same logic: better to consolidate beforehand to succeed in next session.Late entry = high pressure + limited benefit over 2–3 weeks.
W7Immersion week: active listening, methodology onboarding, diagnostic & personalized planning.Not a “full speed” entry: discover, prepare, don’t try to catch up on everything.
W8
(Exams)
Exam week: orientation + preparation for next session (placement, goals, method).No level start: priority on assessment and planning.
