Our courses are self-paced. You can move at the pace that suits you. A course takes an average of 3 months to complete. People with other commitments often spend longer on the course. When you complete a course, please send us an email so that we move you to the next level.
2. 1-on-1 Classes:
When you register for an online course, you can meet with a speaking teacher once or twice a week depending on your subscription plan. Each lesson is 50 minutes. You may choose the times that work best for you.

You may enroll in Arab Academy's Arabic language program on a full-time, part-time or flex-time basis as follows:
– Upon renewing your semi-annual subscription, you will receive 20 complimentary hours of classes at our school in Cairo. (This benefit is granted upon the first renewal only)
– Free immersion hours are valid only during the active subscription period or for up to six months following the subscription end date.
4. Arabic Language Proficiency Test (ALPT):
When you register for ALPT, you get to select the skills on which to be tested. Test 1 covers receptive skills: "Listening Comprehension", "Reading" & "Structure". Test 2 adds a productive skill, which is "Writing"; and Test 3 adds another productive skill; namely, "Speaking".
Payment & Refund Policy
Online Courses:
Subscription starts on the same day of payment. When you register for our online program, you are charged recurring fees. By 'recurring,' this means that your credit/debit card will automatically be charged as per the pricing and recurring cycle you choose (1 month, 3 months, 6 months). You may request a full refund within 3 days of registration (not within 3 days of being billed). With regards stopping the recurring billing, you need to request that we stop the recurring payment by sending an email to info@arabacademy.com one week before "billing" is due, but not afterwards. Refunds or making up for non-usage of the program or the one on one classes are not possible.
Onsite Courses:
– Payment for the program is in advance.
– When a student is absent, our policy does not allow for make-up classes as we do block the space and the teachers for the student.
– The student may request 75% refund 3 weeks before the start date of the program. After that, only 50% refund may be given up to the first day of classes. After the classes start no refunds are given.
