The Intensive Plus Course consists of 20 lessons of 50 minutes per week, and 10 complementary classes focused on Business Spanish, from Monday to Friday.
The schedule is usually between 10.00 and 16.00h or between 13.30 and 19.30h. However, this schedule may suffer slight modifications, depending on the season and the quantity of students at the school at the moment.
Intensive Plus Courses begin every Monday (unless it is a public holiday), regardless of the level of the student.
Normally there are no classes on holidays, but they will be made up during the same week. Here you will find a summary of holidays and how they affect our classes.
To guarantee a full profit of this course it is necessary that participants have at least, a basic level (A2) in Spanish.
Before starting the Spanish course, students are required to take an online placement test consisting of a multiple choice test and a short essay. If necessary, an oral test will also be requested.
This test is free of charge and will take place two weeks before the start of the course. The results of the test, together with the information provided in the Student Record (personal data, language experience and learning preferences), will be used to assign the student to a course at an appropriate level for him/her.
The Intensive Plus Courses’ teaching materials (textbooks and supplementary worksheets, dossiers and complementary activity cards) are carefully prepared, updated and improved by our teaching staff.
All learning resources are included in the price of the course.
The school provides a tutor for you to discuss any questions that you may have without charging any extra cost.
In general, these tutorials take place from Tuesday to Friday, from 1.30 pm to 2 pm or from 3.30 pm to 4 pm. You can ask your teacher to make use of this service.
At the end of the language stay, students will receive a certificate of attendance stating the level and type of course completed, the total hours spent during the stay (divided into teaching hours, hours of autonomous work and participation in socio-cultural activities) and the contents studied during the course.
If you require an official certificate accrediting your knowledge of business Spanish, Madrid's Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the University of Alcalá de Henares, offers specialized qualifications in the fields of business, tourism and health sciences.
With the aim of guaranteeing that each and every student is in the appropriate level and to avoid groups of students with different levels of knowledge, the school reserves the right to implement the following changes to lesson times:
- In case of having only 3 students in the Intensive group, the daily class will be reduced to three sessions of 50 minutes each.
- In case of having only 1-2 student in the group, the daily class will be reduced to two private sessions of 50 minutes each.
- In case that there is only 1 student in the complementary classes, the daily class will be reduced to one lesson of 50 minutes.
The original price will be unaffected.
Apart from our Spanish language courses, we also offer up to four extra-curricular activities per day. Participating in these activities allows students to put into practice the skills they have learnt in the classroom in an easy-going and fun way. As well, it is a good opportunity to get to know Valencia’s culture and people.
We refer you to our updated program of free-time activities.
The sociocultural modules consist of conferences, debates, talks etc. and usually include a visit to some touristic sites, such as museums or monuments. They last approximately 5 hours a week. The topics addressed (festivals, Spanish politics, gastronomy and others) put students in contact with a rich variety of aspects of Spanish and Valencian life.
