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 will be sufficient for many children, experience has taught us that some children do require a number of further 8-day Stages.
