Our Preparation Courses for the DELE exam prepare for every level of the exams which are carried out for the calls in April, May, July, September, October and November in Valencia.
DELE Levels
http://dele.cervantes.es/informacion/niveles/tipos.html
Before starting the course, it is advisable that students take a level test, both written (multiple choice questions plus a little composition) and spoken, in order to assess them about the real possibilities of successfully passing the exam.
This test has no cost and it always takes place outside the course schedules. If the student is already in Valencia, it may be taken on the previous week; if not, the test will take place the same day of the beginning of the course (usually at 9.00).
In the case that the student does not achieve the basics of the level they wish to take, we recommend that the student takes an intensive Spanish course to reinforce the general knowledge of the language.
Didactic materials of the Preparation Courses for the DELE Exam are composed by exam papers along with complementary material developed by Costa de Valencia, escuela de español. This didactic material is carefully elaborated and selected by our teachers. It is included on the price of the course.
The school provides a tutor free of charge for you to discuss any questions that you may have.
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 of the Preparation Courses for the DELE Exam to apply for this service.
At the end of the course, the students receive a certificate of participation stating the hours taken as well as the level reached and the kind of course taken.
Apart from our Spanish language courses, we also offer up to four extra-curricular activities per week. Participating in these activities allows students to put into practice the skills they have learnt in the classroom in an effortless and fun way. On the other hand, it is also a unique opportunity to get to know Valencia’s culture and people first-hand. We refer you to our updated program of free-time activities.
The sociocultural modules consist of conferences, debates, talks 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) put students in contact with a rich variety of aspects of Spanish and Valencian life.
