Guided lessons

Below is a list of assessed guided teaching hours (GLH) per CEFR level. The term ‘Directed Hours’ is defined as teaching hours directed under the direct direction or supervision of a lecturer, OVERSEER, tutor or other suitable education or training provider.

In terms of guided teaching hours, LanguageCert complies with CEFR references which set approximate values ​​for ESOL qualification levels. As noted by ALTE, while a student progresses levels, the number of hours to reach each level increases, being this evidence of the continuing nature of language learning.
