Progression Levels Our system of teaching is broken down into six distinct progressions. These levels are similar to class courses; smaller bundles of skills broken into manageable steps. It is this system which has helped lay the foundation for GDI USA’s instructional success. Progression Level descriptions can be found on the lower left margin of this Home Page and the Regional Services Tab.
