Automating creation of directories

I have a top-level directory called work and I would like to create subdirectories work1 work2... under this directory. Also I would like to create subdirectory under work1 -- test, work2 -- test etc., Can I automate this using a command-line script?

Code:
work 
|_work 1
    |_test
|_work 2
    |_test 
|_work 3 
    |_test
