Our curriculum - what you'll learn in the lessons
We've got a structured programme so you know what you'll learn at each class (see table below).
As a guide, you'll need to do at least the following number of lessons at each level so you cover the
whole curriculum and gain the award which allows you access to classes at the next level (if you miss a

around in the cycle):
Level 1 2-4 classes for women, 4-8 classes for men

Level 3 15-45 classes (curriculum repeats every 15 weeks)
