The short course is a concentrated language program, designed for beginners or people with some knowledge of Swahili. The short course uses the same text as the long course, and students can work at their own pace through the lessons.  For those people who have a limited amount of time, or who have some basic Kiswahili training already, this course is for you. It is possible to arrange special short courses of four weeks to three months when the prospective student is unable to match his/her schedule with the normal course schedule.

All courses are taught in English.
