Levels

The courses are offered at 6 levels, from A1 to C2, which are divided into modules of 30 or 60 hours. The level divisions correspond to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The CEFR aims to achieve greater uniformity and transparency among EU member states in the study of foreign languages. This serves to increase mobility among member countries, facilitate the mutual recognition of language certificates, and promote cooperation among educational institutions in different countries. The CEFR defines levels that assess linguistic ability in the areas of communicative competence, active and receptive skills, and language proficiency for specific purposes.

The number of hours planned for each level can be seen in this overview of the Spanish course curriculum. Each module (Level A1, Level A2, Level B1, Level B2, Level C1, and Level C2) contains sublevels of 30 hours each.

No prior knowledge of Spanish is required to enroll in A1.1-level courses. To enroll in courses at other levels, you must be a former student or pass the placement test.

They can introduce themselves and others, and ask for and provide basic personal information about their address, their belongings, and the people they know.

Classes at this level are taught in Spanish, with very limited active use of English. It is divided into two sections: A1.1 and A1.2.

Platform

Learners at this level are able to understand frequently used phrases and expressions related to areas of experience that are particularly relevant to them (basic information about themselves and their families, shopping, places of interest, occupations, etc.). They can communicate when carrying out simple, everyday tasks that require no more than simple, direct exchanges of information on familiar or routine matters. They can describe, in simple terms, aspects of their past and their surroundings, as well as matters related to their immediate needs. It is divided into 4 sections: A2.1, A2.2, A2.3, and A2.4.

B2
Advanced

Learners at this level are able to understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical texts, provided they fall within their field of specialization. They can interact with native speakers with a sufficient degree of fluency and naturalness so that communication is effortless for both parties. They can produce clear and detailed texts on a variety of topics, as well as defend a point of view on general issues by outlining the pros and cons of different options. It is divided into 6 sections: B2.1, B2.2, B2.3, B2.4, B2.5, and B2.6.

Fluency

Students at this level are able to understand a wide variety of lengthy and somewhat demanding texts, as well as to recognize implied meanings within them. They can express themselves fluently and spontaneously without any obvious signs of struggling to find the right words. They can use the language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes. They can produce clear, well-structured, and detailed texts on topics of some complexity, demonstrating correct use of the mechanisms of text organization, articulation, and cohesion. The course is divided into 6 non-sequential modules; that is, students may take them in any order they choose: C1.1, C1.2, C1.3, C1.4, C1.5, and C1.6.
