You will be qualified to begin with the Beginner Level 2A course if you meet either of the following two conditions:

1- Successfully completing the Introduction Level 1 course.
2- Passing OBA School’s English Proficiency Test 1, 2, and 3. The test can be reached by clicking here.

Once you have finished successfully studying the Beginner Level 2A course, you can proceed to the Beginner Level 2B English language course.

In the beginning of each month we have a new student intake. To ensure we have an exceptional service that can meet every student’s ambitions, we have made all our courses available for enrolment at any time of the year. However, the formal start-off of any of the courses is usually at the beginning of the month following the month that you enrol in. That means you will have immediate access to the course materials where you can read the study guide and starter files and also can have a go with the study materials like watching the tutorial videos and browsing the eBooks until you are contacted in the beginning of the next month directly by one of our dedicated tutors who will explain to you the whole process.

The duration of the Beginner Level 2A course is two months. However, it does not necessarily need that long. As a reference for you to estimate accordingly, you would need around 100 hours of studying to complete the course. Hence you can schedule the duration based on dividing 100 hours by how many hours you plan to study per week resulting in the number of weeks required to finish the course.

Although the above method of estimation is only a guide, completing your course depends on several factors such as your employment situation. You could be a full-time employee, a part-time employee, or unemployed. Another factor would be your ability to dedicate time to study. Setting a study schedule is not difficult but committing to it needs determination and persistence. It would need to be remembered that it is your own responsibility to dedicate enough time to complete your studies.

Studying the Beginner Level 2A and 2B with OBA School does not include any official Cambridge qualification. The Pre-Intermediate 4A and 4B level at OBA School has an equivalent official qualification.
