Your Schedule, Not Ours
Best scenario: Start at Week 1 to ride the wave of group energy. Real life: Can’t make it? Our modular system allows seamless integration at any point. We adapt the plan to fit your entry.
| Week | Safety Ensures comfort & progress | Challenge What you must be ready for |
|---|---|---|
| W1 | Ideal integration: group dynamics + routine from the start. | Very low: a few pages to catch up if arriving after Day 1. |
| W2 | Entry possible with targeted catch-up plan. | 2–4h of extra catch-up work in the 1st week. |
| W3 | Can join if diagnostic confirms basics are there. | Real catch-up load: autonomy + consistency essential. |
| W4 | Very safe option: start at the previous level. | If maintaining current level: risk of gaps that slow you down. |
| W5 | Secure recommendation: previous level + consolidation. | Joining current level is rarely profitable. |
| W6 | Same logic: consolidate beforehand to succeed next session. | Late entry = high pressure + limited benefit. |
| W7 | Immersion week: active listening, methodology onboarding. | Not a “full speed” entry: discover, prepare. |
| W8 | Exam week: orientation + preparation for next session. | No level start: priority on assessment and planning. |
