Spanish for specific purposes
Apart from our general Spanish courses, we offer a multitud of specialised courses.
Long duration courses (+12 weeks)
You can study Spanish with us from as little as one week, up to a whole
year. For those of you that have the opportunity, we offer a 12% overall
price reduction, if you choose to study 12 weeks or more. Your choices of
courses are all variations of intensive (20h/w or 20+5h/w) or
super-intensive (30h/w or 30+5h/w).
Learn Spanish travelling
If you choose the long-duration course (as above), we can also offer you the
further opportunity to change locations whilst you study! This is a great
way to experience and discover Spain and its many different cities. You can
choose any combination from the following six locations:
The 12% price reduction applies also here!
Your choices of courses for this option are the same as the long-duration
course, in other words all variations of intensive (20h/w or 20+5h/w) or
super-intensive (30h/w or 30+5h/w).
NB! Although it is possible to stay in any of the above schools only one
week as part of this travel-course, there is a penalty in price for staying
less than two weeks in any one place. We would also like to recommend that
your minimum stay in any school is two weeks, and that your initial stay
(your first location), is three weeks or longer, to ensure you get a good
basic grasp on our teaching methods and the material before you move on.
There is no price penalty for any stay of two weeks or longer in any location.
