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.
