About Quick Launch
 

  • Quick Launch is delivered in a cohort-based group learning model in which learners participate in a mix of live active learning with other classmates and self-paced independent study with Global Launch’s award-winning language learning content.
     
  • A new Quick Launch class begins every 8 weeks for basic, intermediate and advanced-level and business English speakers. Each class includes 3 hours per week of live-streamed classes with teachers and classmates, and approximately 5 hours per week in online learning modules.
     
  • You will choose your class based on your current level of English proficiency, start and finish the class at the same time as other participants and advance through the course curriculum together to meet weekly deadlines. When you finish your course, you will earn a certificate of completion from Arizona State University.
