Tests and Certificates
On the first day of the course, if you have any prior knowledge of Spanish we give you both an oral and a written entry test to ensure that you are placed in the right level. The test normally takes around 40-60 minutes (depending on your level).
At the end of your course, you are given a certificate which indicates the number of hours you have studied with us and the level of ability you have reached.
