Shield currently presents three main learning formats: Regular Online, Fast Track and Hyper Intensive. Private one-to-one learning is also available for selected needs. The right option depends on the language, level, pace and amount of weekly study time you can commit.

Regular is online only. A1 and A2 are structured as four months each, while B1 and B2 are six months each. Classes run two days per week, with each class lasting 1.5 hours.

Fast Track is a physical accelerated pathway. A1 and A2 are structured as two months each, while B1 and B2 are three months each. Classes run three days per week from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Hyper Intensive is a physical full-day pathway for learners who can study five days per week. The current programme length is one month plus one week, with classes from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Yes. Shield offers online one-to-one private learning. The exact duration, level plan and schedule should be confirmed for the language you want to study.

Yes. A1 is the foundation level and is designed for beginners. Learners who already know some of the language can discuss an appropriate starting level before enrolment.

Yes, where the selected programme is delivered online. Regular courses are online only, and online private learning can also support learners outside Bangladesh. Physical programmes require attendance in Dhaka.

Shield's website presents more than 20 language pathways, including Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Urdu, together with specialised English and examination pathways.

Shield language pathways commonly run from A1 to B2. A1 is foundation, A2 develops everyday communication, B1 supports more independent use and B2 develops higher-level communication. The exact syllabus varies by language.

Duration depends on the learning format. In Regular Online, A1 and A2 are four months each and B1 and B2 are six months each. In Fast Track, A1 and A2 are two months each and B1 and B2 are three months each. Hyper Intensive follows its own concentrated programme structure.

If you already have prior knowledge, Shield can help determine whether a higher starting level is appropriate. Do not choose a higher level only by self-estimation; the expected skills and syllabus should match your actual ability.

A placement check may be used for learners with prior knowledge when needed. The purpose is to choose a suitable starting level rather than automatically placing every learner at A1.

Language levels are designed to build on one another. In most cases, learners should complete or demonstrate the required ability for one level before moving to the next. If you have unusual prior experience, discuss it before enrolment.

Start with destination and real use, then consider study, career, examination, available time and genuine interest. Shield has a dedicated language-choice guide to compare these factors.

Depending on the language and programme, Shield may combine trainer guidance with structured textbooks and workbooks, audio practice, in-house learning software, digital books, class videos and revision activities. Check the relevant course or book page for the exact package.

Yes. Structured books and workbooks are a major part of the Shield learning ecosystem. Current book-set information also connects the printed materials with software and audio access.

Yes. Shield has an in-house browser-based software catalogue covering multiple languages and A1–B2 practice. Software activities can include vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading, writing, roleplay, revision and exam practice.

Yes. Audio and listening practice form part of Shield's wider learning system and are also connected to current book-set information. Exact audio coverage varies by language and level.

Yes. Shield publishes real class videos across several languages. This is the preferred way to inspect the teaching environment before enrolment rather than relying only on a staged demo class.

Shield maintains digital-book and FlipHTML5 resources for a number of languages. Availability differs by language, book and level, so use the Book Library or ask Shield about the exact material you need.

Digital-access periods can depend on the book, software, course and activation terms in effect when you enrol. Confirm the current access and expiry terms before purchase rather than relying on an older fixed-duration promise.

Yes. Enrolment enquiries can be handled online, and you can also contact or visit the academy. Before payment, confirm the language, level, course format, schedule, current fee and seat availability.

Use Shield's central Course Fees page. The fee page is designed to show the current language-specific price structure for Regular, Private, Fast Track and Hyper Intensive pathways.

Refund, cancellation and transfer terms should be confirmed at the time of enrolment because they are operational policies that can change. Do not assume an older website statement still applies to a new enrolment.

Pause, deferment and batch-transfer requests depend on the programme, available batch, progress and current academy policy. Ask before enrolment if you already know that your schedule may change.

A missed class does not automatically guarantee a replacement class. Batch communication, available learning materials and any make-up arrangement depend on the programme and current policy. Contact the academy or your class communication channel as soon as possible.

Batch communication may use WhatsApp or another designated channel for notices, schedule information and class-related updates. The exact communication method is confirmed for the relevant programme or batch.

Shield provides language learning and exam-oriented preparation across several pathways. The relevant examination depends on the language and goal—for example Goethe or telc for German, DELF/TEF/TCF for French, HSK for Chinese, JLPT for Japanese, TOPIK for Korean, DELE for Spanish and CELI/CILS for Italian. Always verify the exact exam and requirement for your own purpose.

Shield may provide a course-completion certificate where applicable. A Shield course-completion certificate is evidence of completing a Shield programme; it is not the same as an official state, university, immigration or external examination certificate.

No. Official external examinations and certifications are issued by their respective authorised organisations. Shield can support learning and preparation, but its own course-completion certificate does not replace an external official result.

Yes. IELTS is presented as a separate English examination pathway on the Shield website rather than being mixed into the foreign-language directory.

Shield has a dedicated IGCSE Languages pathway for school learners preparing for language subjects. Check the IGCSE page for the current languages, syllabus focus and course structure.

There is no single answer. The required language, exam, score or CEFR level depends on the country, institution, profession and legal pathway. Use Shield's exam guide for orientation, then verify the current requirement with the responsible official authority.

Yes. Shield Kids is the academy's children's language programme and currently presents foreign-language learning for Grades 2–6 through speaking, stories, reading, writing, roleplay, projects and guided software practice.

Yes. Shield has a separate School and University Programme for institutional language learning. The exact language, schedule and delivery structure should be arranged with the academy.

Yes. Corporate Services are available for organisations that need language training for teams or staff. Programme design can depend on language, group size, goals, schedule and delivery format.

Yes. Shield presents Quranic Arabic and Modern Standard / spoken Arabic as separate pathways because the learning goals are different.

Shield combines trainer guidance with structured books and workbooks, audio practice, in-house software, real class videos and revision. The Shield Method links learning through seven stages: Understand, Decode, Hear, Drill, Produce, Correct and Master.

The Shield Method is Shield Language Academy's seven-stage language-learning framework: Understand, Decode, Hear, Drill, Produce, Correct and Master. The purpose is to connect explanation with repeated active use rather than ending learning at theory.

Shield courses are trainer-guided, and teaching background or specialisation can vary by language and programme. For a specific course, ask who will teach the batch and review available real class videos where possible.

Shield's current approach is to make real recorded class examples available so prospective learners can inspect actual teaching. If you need a specific pre-enrolment observation option, ask the academy whether one is currently available.
