you can omit "basis" as it's not strictly necessary - so the newsentence would read:
lasts for 8 hours and takes place weekly

1 hr
is 8 hours per week
E' la forma 'classica'. Anche il numero non messo in lettere fa parte dello 'standard' di questo tipo di info.

: Hi Mirra, this may not convey adequately that it this is a continuous session of 8hrs, it could imply 8hrs over the whole week. The idea comes across of a heavy duty 8hr session in one go!!
2 hrs

Dear Siobhan, where did you get the info that the 8 hrs are concentrated in one unique session or not? Perhaps mine is not the best translation (since the client could desire a more verbous and 'institutional' sentence) but it's a standard.
