Complementary courses are aimed to those students who take intensive courses and wish to widen their daily studies according to their interests and specific needs.
They begin every Monday (except if it is a public holiday) and we offer several levels in each of them.
These courses consist of 10 classes (45 minutes long) per week through Monday to Friday. The schedule is usually between 13.45 and 16.00.
The groups are composed of a minimum of 1 student and a maximum of 8, with an average of 2 or 3 students per class.
