Schedule for Tetun courses

All courses run from Monday to Friday, except when there is a public holiday.

The following table shows the schedule of courses for the first half of 2012, with the starting date for each week. If you have special requests for dates, please let us know. In particular, if you have a group of people of comparable level, are studying for three weeks or more, or are travelling from overseas, we normally try to accommodate you even if your level does not fit the advertised schedule.
