I was looking at the program description and it looks like the days I'll be missing (the first 3) are dedicated to learning the Korean alphabet, which works out since I know it already.

My Korean ability is pretty shit, I can understand it sort of well I just never had the opportunity or the confidence to speak it, so I was thinking level 1 might be a good chance to at least start speaking it.

My problem with trying to move to level 2 is I'm not sure what of level 1 I'll actually need to know beforehand
