Accepted Answer

Students receive Samhah Academy certificates on completing a course or a full programme. Each certificate carries a unique ID that can be checked on our verification page.

Most students take two to four live classes a week, each around forty five to sixty minutes, with short daily revision in between. The exact timetable is agreed with you before classes begin.
