The self-study component provides a one-year online subscription to eBerlitz Self-Study, our dynamic and interactive online learning experience that allows personnel convenient online 24-7 access from a web-enabled computer anytime, anywhere. The most comprehensive online self-study option available, the program features up to 2,000 hours of exciting exercises that focus on complete skill development in the new language: listening, reading, speaking and writing.

Learners begin with an initial placement test, next their learning path is defined, and nine virtual review sessions are scheduled at specific points in the learning path in order to reinforce skills and enhance the learning process. The 90-minute review sessions are led by highly trained Berlitz Instructors and are conducted in groups of up to eight learners. This allows participants the opportunity to ask questions, gain guidance and put their new skills into practical application through practice with others.

Learners may also choose to supplement their learning process with additional live group reinforcement sessions beyond the nine that are included with the program.
