Four quick checks. Three or more yes, and your child is ready for this course. Mostly no, and the foundation course is the better place to start.
Same trainers, same one-to-one format, same 52 weeks. What changes is what your child does in the class.

CEFR
Every child moves at their own pace, so the stages above are a guide rather than a guarantee. The entry level is a requirement, not a suggestion: the free level check confirms it before you pay, and a child who is not ready is pointed to the foundation course instead.
Six things you can watch for. Each one is practised in class every week, and assessed at the end of the block rather than assumed.
Your child states a view and backs it with two or three reasons, instead of stopping at “because I like it”.
Structured debates with the trainer: make the claim, give the evidence, answer the counter-argument. Your child also argues positions they do not personally hold.
Two minutes, no preparation. The trainer sets the topic on the spot and marks structure, pace and filler words.
Your child presents to the trainer and then answers follow-up questions without a script — which is the part a rehearsed presentation never tests.
A beginning, a middle and an end, in one tense throughout, with the pacing and emphasis that keep a listener with them.
School admission and scholarship-style questions, answered in full: what they did, why it mattered, and what they would do differently.
Curriculum
Five one-to-one sessions a week, Monday to Friday, starting from B1. Every session has a named topic, worked examples and a practice task, and every fourth week closes with an assessment and written feedback.
Weeks 1–52 · 260 sessions
Assessment is built into the course rather than bolted on at the end. Every week closes with practice and feedback, every fourth week with a formal assessment, two whole weeks are portfolio review, and the final week decides the grade printed on the certificate.

Two of these three are awarded by NIL. The third is not — and the page says which is which rather than letting three matching cards imply otherwise.
On completing your plan
Carries the grade earned in the three final assessments. Issued by NIL EduTech (P) Ltd and states the CEFR band achieved.
Weeks 47 and 48 are given over entirely to portfolio review: four assessed speaking performances and four assessed written pieces, each with individual feedback.
Learners who want an externally awarded certificate can be guided towards Cambridge English or IELTS afterwards — NIL prepares for these separately.
About IELTS at NILNo batch and no waiting for a turn. At this level that matters more, not less: the progress comes from your child being corrected on their own words, in the moment they say them.

Session counts follow a 20-session-per-month structure. The 12-month plan is priced at 240 sessions; the full syllabus runs to 52 weeks and 260 sessions, so a coordinator confirms how the remaining weeks are scheduled before you enrol.
The course is the one-to-one classes. These come with it, and none of them is charged for separately.
Free access to open Sunday webinars with group discussions, debates and presentations — public speaking practice with a live audience, which is the one thing a one-to-one course cannot give you.
Group discussion support continues for 6 months after your course finishes. Join every Sunday.

The level check is free and there is nothing to pay for it. If your child is not ready for this course, we will say so and point you at the foundation course.

The entry level is a requirement, not a suggestion: it is confirmed at the free level check, and a child who is not ready is directed to the foundation course. The stages your child moves through are a guide rather than a guarantee — progress depends on where they start and how much they practise between classes. The certificate grade and the CEFR band printed on it are based on assessed performance, not attendance. Class counts follow a 20-class-per-month structure; the full syllabus runs to 52 weeks and 260 classes, and scheduling beyond a plan's class count is arranged with a coordinator.
