Usual Schedule
The normal schedule is as follows (depending on specific course exact times may vary): from 10:00 to 13:30 with a 30 minutes break between 11:30 and 12:00. Afternoons and evenings are reserved for cultural and optional activities.
Your Spanish Level
Upon arrival at IELE there is a written and oral evaluation administered by one of our teachers. This allows us to help you by placing you in a class appropriate to your level. At IELE we have four competency levels. Students of a similar level always study together in classes with a maximum of 8 students.
