Application Requirements
Orientation:
The week prior to the beginning of classes, there is an orientation session for those students interested in taking any of the program courses. A program representative will clear your doubts and answer your queries.
Placement Test:
A fundamental aspect of any language program is having a class as homogeneous as possible in terms of student performance. All students interested must take this test to allow us to assess whether their level is fit for them to join the course we offer.
Registration:
Registration takes place a week after the beginning of classes. Nevertheless, it is advisable for students to attend theory and practice sessions from the very first week so as to better assess their level of Spanish, and for them to ensure that the course meets their expectations. Course openings will depend on the number of students interested in the specific level. Classes which do not meet these requirements will be automatically closed.
