Till today, and for 11 years, 100% of our students have successfully passed this exam... and that means 226 students! Would you like to be part of this exclusive club? Then read on.

The "Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera" or Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma, is the only certificate for non-native speakers of Spanish officially recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture and the Instituto Cervantes, so this is a very important document in terms of employment opportunities.

 Exam dates and fees are annually established by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture and they normally take place in May, August and November. For further details please click here.

This course runs for 25 lessons a week. Each day, during the first two lessons, we study the possible grammatical problems and their practical application adapted to the different levels of language knowledge. In the next three lessons we cover the subjects of specific aspects of the exam: specialised vocabulary, writing skills, oral expression, listening and reading comprehension, debates on current issues, etc.

We also review previous year's exams and you will have mock exams to check the study progress of every student. 

For your interest, you will be also able to take individual lessons to reinforce any extra foundations.
