The 3 levels ranging mainly from beginners to intermediate and advanced with increasing level of difficulty as learners proceed from one level to the other.
The Beginner (Level 1) and Intermediate levels (Level 2) are mandatory as learners will learn the fundamentals systsems to write the individual and joint-letter for the Arabic Language before forming sentences and writing their own certificate which will be an immitation of a selected text written in Arabic Penmanship.
