FAQ
Can I trial the holiday program at Cognito?
No, our 2-lesson trial applies only to weekly courses. Holiday courses are intensive and have limited spots, so we don’t offer trials for them.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons at Cognito are 2 hours long and cover topic content, practice questions and more. Students are expected to complete and mark the homework assigned in their own time.
What’s the difference between the weekly program and the holiday program?
Weekly Program:
Weekly classes follow a steady, structured pace with ongoing revision, tutorials, and end‑of‑topic exams. This is the best option for most students, especially those who benefit from regular reinforcement and consistent support throughout the term.
Holiday Program:
A 3–4 day intensive course during the school holidays where you learn a full term of content at once. It’s ideal for students who prefer to get ahead quickly and can revise independently throughout the term. Holiday courses do not include tutorials or end‑of‑topic exams, and spots are limited.
Where is Cognito located?
Cognito is a two minute walk from Chatswood Station, located at Level 1 / 24 Thomas St, Chatswood NSW 2067.
