The 20 weekly group classes of the Intensive Course take place from Monday - Friday in the Afternoon: 13:10 - 17:00 CET

The course requires a minimum of 3 students to maintain a full timetable. With 2 students, class time is reduced to 80% (e.g., Mon – Thurs instead of Mon – Fri). If only 1 student enrolls, classes operate at 40% timing or a refund is available.
No refund is possible if the course is reduced to 80%, however being just 2 students, the level of teacher - student interaction is extremely high and you stand to progress at a very fast rate, even when accounting for the small reduction in class time. If during the course more students enroll, the class time is increased accordingly. Please only sign up if you are in agreement with this policy.

Please note that there is a maximum of 10 students per group.

With the Intensive (and Long Term) Course schedule, it usually takes between 10 and 12 weeks to complete a level, such as A1 or A2. That said, it is important to note that students’ progress depends on their learning style, aptitude for languages, and the time and effort they are willing to put into learning and practicing. It can also be influenced by their native language and the other languages they speak. If your objective is to learn as much as possible in a defined period of time, it’s important you dive deep into your Spanish studies: spend time revising class content, complete your homework, practice with natives outside class, listen to Spanish music, watch Spanish movies, read Spanish books and magazines, and watch yourself improve rapidly!

AIL Español uses e-books recommended by Instituto Cervantes that endeavor to provide the best methodology of Spanish teaching, complemented by a range of audio/visual materials, handouts, the school's own materials, and the internet.

Each student receives an attendance certificate upon finishing the course.
