The 5-year teaching-learning program is split into 3-month units.
A student will be first assessed through his/her performance CD/Cassette and then s/he may be allowed to start at any higher stage, e.g. 3rd year of this program or special consultancy program.
The students will normally receive one lesson per week. But, the students must submit their work for assessment before obtaining the next lesson.
To give considerable boost in progress a student may consider of visiting Mumbai for live lessons for at least 10 days [10-day crash course] every year.
