Valladolid - The courses
INTENSIVE COURSES

On the first day, students get a short test and we can place then put them in the group whose level is more adapted to theirs. There are five levels: Beginners, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced and Proficiency.
The maximum size of our classes is 6 students per group and the purpose is to improve the quality of the classes and to help everybody progress quickly and get a special attention from the teacher.
Our intensive courses are made up of 20 hours a week in the morning or the afternoon, depending on the time of the year and the level.
IMMERSION COURSES
Immersion courses are aimed at the Spanish students who have little time and need to make a lot of progress in few days or weeks.
The immersion courses contents 30 hours a week. Students are put into small groups of the most adapted level of a maximum of 6 and receive 4 hours a day as part of the intensive course and, later, a further 2 hours a day in individual classes or in classes with a very small number of students.
