Intensive Spanish courses
An intensive group Spanish course... An important part of learning is that it should be fun.
Sophie Tucker (UK)
Our intensive group Spanish courses consist of 4 hours tuition per day, from Monday to Friday. Classes normally take place from 09.30 to 13.30, with a 20-minute break taken halfway through the morning.
The course includes a programme of cultural and social activities that take place in the afternoons and evenings.
Our intensive courses are offered at all levels from complete beginners to very advanced. The average number of students per group is 3 to 4, with a maximum of just 8.
You can enrol for as many weeks as you like.
Please note The minimum age for all our Spanish Courses is 16.
Tests and certificates
On the first day of the course, if you have any prior knowledge of Spanish you have both an oral and a written entry test so that your level can be ascertained and you can be placed in the most appropriate group.
The test normally takes around 40-60 minutes (depending on your level).
At the end of your course, you will be given a certificate, which indicates the number of hours you have studied with us and the level of ability you have reached.
