On the first day of the course, students take a written and oral classification test before being assigned their particular level, group and timetable.
We normally have Spanish Courses at all levels but it could happen that there is only one student at a particular level. In this case we will provide a reduced number of individual lessons.
There is a small charge for course material (per level).
