Spanish Courses

Our Spanish courses are focused on communication and action: the main priority is effective communication and correct situational usage. Thanks to a carefully designed programme covering all aspects of language, a great number of different topics are covered in an intensive manner so that maximum progress is guaranteed.

The curriculum used by our experienced teachers is focused on a direct communicative approach. As a result of this, the dynamic courses involve active participation from all students.

The number of students per Spanish class, between 3 and 10, reinforces this approach and strengthens the student-teacher relationship as well as improving fluency.

Spanish Course Description

From 1 week to 12 months.
Intensive Spanish courses consist of four classes per day, Monday to Friday.
Intensive-plus and Special Spanish courses consist of 5 or 6 classes per day.
In all cases one class equals 45 academic minutes.
The size of each group varies from 3 to a maximum of 10, so that each student has the opportunity to actively participate. Even if the minimum number of participants is not reached, the class will take place, but the time of the class will be decreased.
Up to six different levels are offered at the beginning of each Intensive course, ranging from basic to proficient Spanish users.
We ask you to complete the Spanish level test on our Website the week before your course starts. The results, together with your own self-assessment and an informal conversation on your first day of class, will help us to determine what level of Spanish is most suitable for you.
It is usually possible to change levels during the course.
A certificate which confirms the type of Spanish course, duration, intensity and level will be awarded to those who regularly attend their Spanish courses.
