General Spanish Courses

Number of students

The minimum number of students needed to run a course is six. The maximum number of students per class is twelve. However, in special circumstances, and depending on the needs of the course, Instituto Cervantes reserves the right to open a course with an additional student.

In the case of cancellation, the registered students for this course can choose to take the course at another time or can ask for a complete refund of the amount paid at registration.

Level tests

All new students, except absolute beginners (A1.1.), take a level test to guarantee the level of each group. There are two parts to the test: written and oral. Level tests are free of charge and are administered on a walk-in basis.

Levels of the courses

Our courses range from classes for Basic to Proficient guaranteeing a gradual improvement in the acquisition of the Spanish language.

Each level is divided into modules of 30 hours: A1 (1-2), A2 (1-4) , B1 (1-4) , B2 (1-5) , C1 (1-6) (to view dates and times, click on the menu on the left-hand side of the page).

Class material

Each course has a specific textbook to cover the contents of our curriculum. It is the responsibility of every student to acquire the books needed for each course.
