FAQ about Spanish Language Center, S.L.,

  • There is parking inside the building, the price for our students is EUR 5 for the whole morning.
    Belén, Administration from Spanish Language Center, S.L. - Jul 12, 2022
  • For group lessons, there is a mandatory minimum number of students per group. If this is not reached, the school reserves the right to reduce the number of lessons and change to private lessons, if necessary. It usually takes 3-4 students to form a group.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 10, 2022
  • I am afraid, that if you miss a lesson, you will not receive a refund. This is because the school is committed to providing you with 100% of the course you paid for. That's why you have to make up for each missed lesson in another group of your level. As a last resort, you can make up the time with your teacher by prior arrangement.
