Make sustainment a routine with weekly authentic lessons at level.

  • Current, relevant lessons: All lessons are based on authentic sources covering domains of interest to USG personnel, including politics, technology, and security. See a sample lesson.
  • Independent or structured: Dispersed personnel can complete Cohort lessons anytime, anywhere on almost any computer or mobile device. Supplement Cohort lessons with virtual instruction to support structured sustainment and enhancement.
  • Targeted proficiency maintenance: ILR-aligned lessons fight proficiency drop-off through consistent, level-appropriate engagement.
  • Continuous reporting: Program managers and administrators can track and download reports on lesson completion, time on task, and other training metrics.
  • “We haven’t had a DLPT failure in 170 days, which is a testament that the CL-150 Cohorts and Reporting works.” “One of our sub-pro Arabic linguists enrolled in your MSA Cohorts and went from a 1+ on reading to a 3 within 3 months.” “The CL-150 and the Cohorts are an integral part of our Program.”
