FAQ – How long does the average programme last?
Programme Structure
A standard programme at Cluas consists of three Stages:
- The first stage is 15 days – for 2 hours each week-day (over 3 consecutive weeks)
- followed by an interval of 4 weeks (with no attendance at Cluas)
- The second stage is 8 days – for 2 hours each week-day (over 2 consecutive weeks)
- followed by an interval of 4 weeks (with no attendance at Cluas)
- The third stage is 8 days – for 2 hours each week-day (over 2 consecutive weeks)
To complete an average Cluas programme it takes about four and a half months. While this might be sufficient for some children, experience has taught us that many children require further Stages. When working with adults it is often possible to progress at a faster rate.
