The process of ranking up
Zipan lessons are not something you just do and then leave. We have a system in place to ensure that you acquire skills through regular and continuous monitoring and Receiving feedback.
<Every lesson> "Lessons based on the '5 steps' x 10 themes, steadily mastering each one"

<Final position of each rank> Master the game with the "Rank Up Test"
*The rank-up test at each level "Rank E" will be the "Level-up Test."
