Aitas Virtual! + Course Registration Info

Published: Wed, 08/05/20

Aitas Virtual Experience!

Although COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted across the GTA, Aitas will continue to conduct classes online. That being said, we have made adjustments to our courses to accommodate the online approach! The Aitas Virtual Experience combines different elements to ensure that distance learning is still engaging and fun!

Here are the changes that we have made to our courses:

Class sizes narrowed down from 8 students per class to a 1:5/1:6 teacher:student ratio, for enhanced engagement
Virtual lessons taught via Zoom, and the use of Zoom breakout rooms to allow for collaboration in even smaller groups
Communications between students and teachers will be done through Slack

Online Quizzes

We are currently offering FREE, online placement quizzes for those who are interested in our core courses! These quizzes (accompanied by a meeting with our instructors) will help you take your first step in determining what starting level may be best for you.

Note: These quizzes are not the final assessment to determine your start course. This is just to see where your current level is at, but the actual course you start with will differ depending on your goals, learning style etc.

For more information on our quizzes, please check our latest update here:
