According to the Common European Framework of Reference, B1, B2 and C1 do have sub-levels. At DADO, however, we do not enrol students by sub-level from B1 onwards: you register directly for the general level (B1, B2 or C1), and we form groups based on each student’s actual proficiency within that level, so you study alongside classmates at a similar starting point. Students typically complete between 3 and 4 consecutive courses at the same level to master it fully.
To find out which course suits you, we recommend taking both a written test and an oral test. Based on the results and your personal goals, we will recommend the most suitable course for you.
