Dear all

Considering five educational terms throughout a year holding in language institutes, can we say that the courses are “termed courses”, “termly held” or “in term courses”? I’m searching for an original word conveying the very notion. I do appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance
 
None of those work.

Do you mean it's offered every term?
Do you mean it's offered only one term (of the five) every year?

The courses are classified and connected, so the learners/students have to go on the course for five terms each year.
 
In the British academic year , a 'term' is a trimester, or one third of the year. For what you are talking about, we'd say something like The course consists of five units/parts/levels of two months each


Thanks for the kind response. But surely there is a compound noun, or an adjective to describe the course.

Ps: The courses are named "Termic" here though it doesn't sound a correct English equivalent. Can't we add suffix -ic to the noun and coin the word? Is it wrong only for the sake of lack of cultural justification?

Each level is a five-term course.
 
I think you can use the noun, "term", as an adjective.
In a course which consists of semesters, the subjects offered are called "semester subjects".
So it would be logical to call the same "term subjects".
 
You could say that the courses are sequential, or they must take the classes in sequence as they are offered each term.

Your response puts it in black and white for me. Although it gives me the notion that the linguistic rules may not always lead us to make perfect choices!
