The curriculum includes courses in Chinese characters, oral Chinese, and HSK training. Students will learn how to read and write Chinese characters, improve their speaking and listening skills, and prepare for the HSK exam. The program is divided into four levels: beginner, elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

After completing this program, students can work as Chinese language teachers, translators, interpreters, or cultural consultants. They can also use their language skills to work in business, tourism, or international relations.
