Spanish intensive courses from level A1 to B2 for international students who want to learn Spanish with other international students and surrounded by Spanish culture. Each level corresponds to a 1 month course (80 hours). Courses are run all year round, from Monday to Friday. 

Our courses can be complemented with Español Plus, a reinforcement learning course to ensure students acquire solid knowledge and consolidate learning. These complementary courses are especially addressed to students whose native language is very different to the target language. We also offer an optional course to Perfect your Spanish, especially suited to students who want to consolidate level B2 or access undergraduate/master's studies in Spain. Also suitable as a reinforcement to ensure candidates are ready to pass level B2.2 exam. 

Our school provides high quality teaching, with qualified and experienced teachers who use a communicative methodology that trains our students to learn in a practical and effective way. Our courses are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR).

Evaluation is based on continuous assessment and a test at the end of the course.
