A question about " absolute beginners"

Hi, everybody:

I have seen the phrase "a class for absolute beginners " in an Oxford dictionary.

I guess that the meaning of "absolute beginners" is:

at every aspects, the people whose level of knowledge, skills, etc. is not above the level of beginners

Is the understanding right or wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Eagleflych

I would interpret "absolute beginners" as a reference to people who are starting from zero. In other words, I would expect people who sign up for a course for "absolute beginners" to have no previous knowledge at all of the subject matter.

I agree with Yankee. There are many people classified as "beginners" who possess some small degree of knowledge and experience. These people would not be included in a class of "absolute beginners," who know absolutely nothing.
