FAQ Category: About DaVinci

  • What is DaVinci’s language of instruction?

    English serves as the official language of instruction for all qualifications offered by The DaVinci Institute. This means that all learning materials, teaching sessions, assignments, and formal communications are presented in English to maintain a consistent academic experience.

    Students are therefore expected to demonstrate proficiency in both spoken and written English. This ensures active participation in discussions, successful engagement with the learning material, and effective completion of assessments. Where necessary, additional language support may be recommended.

    Using English as the language of instruction allows DaVinci to support a diverse community of learners while aligning with global academic standards.
