At Indonesian Language Consultancy, we want to take this worry from you. So we’ve made a commitment to always start our courses.

Our Indonesian classes have an average of 7-8 students and we’re not aiming to have too many students at once. The maximum number of students that we can have in a class is 12 students only.
Yes, we do. Low number of enrolment has always been the cause for course providers to cancel their higher level Indonesian courses. However, we do not start our courses based on the number of enrolment. So you can be rest assured that when we schedule a higher level course, the course will start and that you can continue learning Indonesian with us. We schedule our higher level courses thoughtfully to cater for students from different groups and we are committed to bring our students as far as they like to go.
Once you have enrolled to one of our courses, you will never need to worry about price increase. The fee for your higher level courses will be the same as the fee of the first course that you attended.

We strongly believe that everyone can learn Indonesian. Our aim is to help our students, who might have different learning style and capacity, learn Indonesian and reach their goal.
Our classes cover all elements of the language (speaking/writing/reading/listening) methodologically.
For your learning progress, it will be ideal if you can attend all of the classes in your course. However, we are also aware that making an 8-week commitment is not always easy with things that are happening in your life. So yes, you can pay just for the total number of classes that you can attend.
Please contact us to get more details on how to organise this.
