When someone decides to undertake a Spanish course in Spain it is very important to clearly know what the interests and objectives are, as you will then be able to choose the course that adapts best to your needs.

There are several types of courses meant for people with different profiles. If you are an businessman, it is most interesting to undertake a specialised Spanish course, such as the business course which focuses its programmes on Spanish needed in the business context. Erasmus students coming to continue their studies in Spanish, need to start or improve their knowledge of Spanish, the basic courses offered by some schools are the most outstanding option.

There are also courses designed to prepare for the DELE (Spanish as Foreign Language Diploma), which are usually from 2 weeks on, and focus on passing the official examination from the Instituto Cervantes, as the Spanish Ministry of Education. The DELE exam takes place usually 2 times a year, in some places 3, and it can be undertaken in almost all universities of Spain and in some places abroad.
For the students that decide to spend holidays or some days in our country, you can undertake some Spanish summer courses or intensive courses, which are 25 hours/week (in some centres up until 30 hours/week). They are ideal to do idiomatic tourism, as this allows to study the language while you visit the best monuments in cities with history or to sunbathe on the beach in cities next to the beach.
It is very important to choose the most suitable course to be able to receive a complete training which will allow you to reach a high level of knowledge of the Spanish language. Remember our language is currently the second most spoken in the world, so to learn Spanish does not only enrich your culture, but it can also open doors to big job opportunities.
