Testimonial
After only ten weeks of the Cambridge Islamic College (CIC) diploma in Arabic and Islamic studies I am able to see a real difference in my own understanding of Arabic, Arabic text has gone from being a jumble of letters to actual words and sentences, and I can even translate some! . I would highly recommend this course to anybody serious about wanting to learn Arabic.
It is a great honour and privilege to be taught by a scholar of such great rank, knowledge and humility. I am finding the course immensely rewarding in so many ways.
