A total of six groups will be offered, with approximately 15 students each. Four groups will focus on the beginner level and two on the intermediate level.

Each group will receive 32 hours of training spread over eight weeks, with two-hour sessions per class. Class times are available from 9:00 to 11:00, 12:00 to 14:00, and 16:00 to 18:00.

Non-EU citizens must present their residence permit (TIE) to register. EU citizens and residents of Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Switzerland must present their green residence document (CUE) and photo identification from their country of nationality.

The main objective of these courses is to equip participants with the ability to communicate effectively in Spanish, both in everyday and professional situations. The courses will cover beginner and intermediate levels, providing a solid linguistic foundation.
