Which Quran Course Is Right for You?

Al-Quran Academy offers 9 online Quran and Islamic studies courses. Beginners should start with the Quran Reading (Noorani Qaida) course. Those who can already read Arabic may move directly to Tajweed. Students who wish to memorise the Quran should enrol in Hifz (memorisation), which takes 2–4 years and requires daily practice. The 10 Qiraat course is an Expert-level programme requiring full Hifz and strong Tajweed as prerequisites. All courses are conducted live, 1-on-1, with a certified teacher via Zoom or Skype.
