Spanish Courses

Spanish lessons at Guadalmina Idiomas are developed through a dynamic learning method, with the main objective of integrating oral and written expression and comprehension, while constantly practising grammar and vocabulary in class through student interaction and group work.

Guadalmina Idiomas follows the stipulations set out in the Instituto Cervantes Curriculum Plan for the distribution of the different levels of Spanish language knowledge, in line with the requirements of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Therefore, our courses are divided into the levels described below.

The duration of our courses is calculated considering the objectives and contents to be achieved at each level.

To join a course at Guadalmina Idiomas for the first time, it is necessary to take a level test, except when starting from complete beginner level (A1). Once the level of the students has been verified, they will be assigned to a group suitable for their level. The first class at Guadalmina Idiomas is FREE.

Here you will find our level test.

At the end of each level, and once the corresponding assessment tests are passed, students obtain a Certificate of Achievement that specifies the level completed and, if required, the course contents and objectives.
