SPANISH COURSES

For more than twenty years the Spanish Programme at IH Costa Rica Instituto Britanico has been the first choice of embassies, international voluntary organizations, and transnational businesses, as well as many individuals who study Spanish for reasons of work and travel.

A special feature of the Programme is the flexibility to accommodate learners’ requirements outside the normal course structure.

To give personalized attention to every student, groups are small, with a maximum of eight students. Tutorials are also available, one-to-one and two-to-one.

Uniquely, in addition to General Spanish, it also offers tailor-made, language-specific courses for professionals in their chosen field.

IH Costa Rica Instituto Britanico is a Centro Asociado of the Instituto Cervantes, the world authority in the teaching and testing of Spanish as a second language. Centro Asociado status guarantees that the school meets a range of quality standards that are applied worldwide by the Instituto Cervantes in both teaching and administration to help overseas students select a language school they can rely on.

Evaluation

Students are evaluated internally by a combination of continuous assessment during the course (classwork and homework) and final exams (oral and written).

Students also have the option, dates permitting, to take the external exams of the Instituto Cervantes for a qualification with wider recognition.
