Here is how the 90 minutes are split in each course — and what you do between classes. Last updated 4 November 2026. Fees and institute bands checked against public 2026 prices. Short answer One class is 90 minutes, live, with about 6 learners and the same teacher every time. In Basic and Intermediate Spoken English: 30 minutes of grammar, then 60 minutes of speaking, reading and listening that use it. In Interactive Speaking: all 90 minutes are speaking. Between classes you practise daily in the Bolo app, and your teacher reviews your reading and speaking every week. On this page - 1. Basic Spoken English — 30 + 60 - 2.
