Location: FU International Academy opens their doors to international students from two great locations: Puerto de la Cruz (North Tenerife) or in Costa Adeje (South Tenerife).

Accreditation: Here you can find schools that are accredited by the Cervantes Institute in Madrid who inspect the schools and certify the quality of the teaching.

Course structure: The courses at the school are designed according to The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and serves as a platform to ease foreign students into the learning process of foreign languages across Europe. All students are required to take a comprehensive placement test that will determine their exact level of Spanish - this makes it easier for Course Consultants to place you within the correct course. Courses at FU International Academy starts every Monday for 52 weeks of the year and welcomes students from across the globe to enjoy learning the Spanish language in a relaxed setting, filled with exciting leisure activities.

Social calendar: Find your feet while learning the Salsa or catch a few waves down by the beach. Both locations are well-known for offering more than its fair share of parties, festivals and weekend excursions, so this is definitely an option for students who wish to maintain a lively social calendar.

Additional information: FU International assists students in obtaining a valid visa to study in Spain and for an extra fee, offers airport transfer, while students can expect to find a wide variety of homestays, shared apartments and hotel apartments available within central town limits.

Special note for 2027 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2027 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2026 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2027 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“All the staff we had dealings with including our brilliant teacher Lillian and all the reception staff were very friendly, competent and helpful. The school itself appears clean and well organised, with great facilities such as clean classrooms and a lovely café, and is situated in a quiet and pleasant area. Our brief time (10 lessons) at the school was at times challenging (just as it should be) but also at all times interesting and enjoyable.”
“With only five days and ten lessons at the school, from our limited experience there was nothing that we didn't like about the school and its teaching.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: As this was our first experience of formal language teaching, the two-to-one 10 course was perfect for us.Other comments: In our albeit limited experience, the FU Academy was a great place to study.

“Dedicated teachers, a good combination of grammar lessons followed by conversation classes during educational leave, the welcome coffee on the first day with an introduction to the programme, and a small celebration with sparkling wine after the last lesson.

I also liked the fact that you could borrow the books and didn't have to buy them.”

“International, positive atmosphere in general and in particular. On request, we also responded to topic requests and used a lot of new vocabulary, verbs, etc.”
“Classes too large for beginners. Also, after the " insufficient" online placement test, a further assessment should be carried out on site after the first day, or the learning speed and willingness to learn or goals should be checked, and the class should possibly be divided!!!!”

“The atmosphere at the school, the teaching itself and the teachers.”
“The situation in terms of space is very bad in some respects: partly windowless classrooms without any noise protection, in which one can hear the lessons of the next class word for word, loud clapping and laughter during the play phases, sound from the corridor and from the terrace, the boisterous group discussions extremely disturb one's own concentration - especially when a test is also to be written.”
Insider tip: “The diverse afternoon activities!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The intensive course was (in my opinion) indicated with 5-8 participants. In the first week there were five of us, which was very good due to the high participation rate. In the second week there were 10 participants. I thought that was very bad (especially in this spatial situation).Other comments: It would be super if the school could also set up a 50Plus course in the A1 and A2 beginners' section. For us old people, it's just too fast with the sudden variations of topics within a lesson (clothes, long-distance travel, shopping, health, song lyrics, telephoning, doctor's appointment, leisure and party planning and Spanish social life/history...) or in the video quiz game (English-Spanish). Because at A2 level, grammar still demands extreme attention. The rapid changes of topics are mainly intended for young people to prevent boredom through variety. For us older people, the resulting required broad vocabulary is more of a burden. I, for one, am no longer able to learn 30-40 new words a day to be able to follow the lessons.

“I can highly recommend FU International. I booked for two weeks but stayed an extra week because I was making good progress with the excellent teacher Laura. Classes are small, my first was seven students and the next two four. The subject matter was at the appropriate level for me but I noticed the college was flexible and would move students up mid week. The lessons are well planned with a test at the end of the week to identify any weak areas. The teachers encourage students to speak using a range of games and scenarios. Above all, for me aged 60+, the mix of ages because of the professional qualifications it offers means older students do not feel out of place.”
“Nothing”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: 20 is 20 lessons not 20 hours. Times are 9am to 12.15pm with a 15 minute break. Other comments: I really liked the free breakfast every Monday on the lovely - usually sunny - terrace because it was a chance to socialise and meet other students on the first day. Plus the food is excellent!

“The school is located in a shopping center, you have many options, shopping in the supermarket, stopping off at cafes/restaurants, there are also other shops, doctors' offices, etc. The botanical garden is right across the street, the quarter itself is quiet. The lessons are a bit too ambitious and therefore create a lot of stress. However, individual teachers are very committed.”
“Since the intensive course was too stressful for me, I completely lost motivation. There were constant changes of teachers, the classrooms are poorly equipped and there are often references to learning opportunities on the Internet. The lesson times weren't particularly ideal for me, but due to the shortage of teachers, they couldn't be managed any other way. Unfortunately, as a result of the pandemic, leisure activities were restricted, and there were no excursions by the school.”
Insider tip: “To see the beautiful surroundings, not just the beach.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Disastrous, not my thing. But I didn't fit in with the young people who mostly hang out on the beach together and devote themselves to the nightlife.Other comments: Maybe set goals that are not that ambitious, which is less stressful for students and teachers.

Questions and answers about FU International Academy, Puerto de la Cruz

Which book is used for the B1 course at the FU International Academy?
“At our school, we use the textbooks "Vente" (appropriate to the course level) and "Gramática de uso del español" as supplementary grammar material. So unfortunately, we don’t use Gente Hoy 2 in our B1 course. You will likely need to get the books we use — however, they are available both for purchase and for rent through the school.”
Beáta Erdélyi , Sales Manager from FU International Academy - May 12, 2025
Does the school organise activities/excursions over the weekend?
“Yes, the school organises weekend activities and excursions. You can book excursions with the school, such as a trip to Mount Teide, whale watching or a day trip to La Gomera and others. If you are interested, we recommend that you book in advance as places may be limited.

”
Be, Sales Manager from FU International Academy - May 12, 2025
When and how do I book the activities?
“Weekend excursions can be booked here at reception at the beginning of the week. We will contact the company to reserve a place on the tourist bus. Tour guides are available in German, English or Spanish. Pick-up is near the accommodation. There are several pick-up points in Puerto de la Cruz.”
Beáta Erdélyi, Sales Manager from FU International Academy - May 12, 2025
Can a complete beginner start every Monday?
“The school offers courses for total beginners the first and third week of the month.”
Beáta, Adminstration from FU International Academy, Tenerife - Dec 10, 2024
How are the levels determined and categorised at FU International Academy?
“Before finalising your booking, you will be given an online level test. The school will then determine your exact level and place you in the right class. Contact us and we will send you the test in advance.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 22, 2024
What Spanish levels does the FU International Academy Tenerife offer?
“The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages categorises learners into three broad classes, which can be divided into six levels. For each level, it describes what a learner should be able to do in the individual skill areas: Reading, listening, speaking and writing:

A1 = Beginners
A2 = Elementary
B1 = Intermediate
B2 = Upper intermediate
C1 = Advanced
C2 = Proficiency

We have taken the European Framework of Reference, which consists of 6 levels, and divided it into 48 sub-levels:

A1.1 - A1.2 - A1.3 - A1.4
A2.1 - A2.2 - A2.3 - A2.4 - A2.5
B1.1 - B1.2 - B1.3 - B1.4 - B1.5 - B1.6 - B1.7
B2.1 - B2.2 - B2.3 - B2.4 - B2.5 - B2.6 - B2.7 - B2.8
C1.1 - C1.2 - C1.3 - C1.4 - C1.5 - C1.6 - C1.7 - C1.8 - C1.9 - C1.10 - C1.11
C2.1 - C2.2 - C2.3 - C2.4 - C2.5 - C2.6 - C2.7 - C2.8 - C2.9 - C2.10 - C2.11 - C2.12 - C2.13

Each sub-level has its own content, learning objectives and an exam at the end.

Each week we offer 6 to 7 of these sub-levels, so we need to find the one that best suits the student. This requires the test to accept students.”
Beáta Erdélyi, Sales Manager from FU International Academy - Nov 22, 2024
Are there parking facilities at the accommodation (shared flat) or nearby?
“Yes, there are free parking spaces near the shared apartments. Also, In the streets around the school (Camelia, Azucena and Marqués Villanueva del Prado) there are many free parking spaces. There is no problem to park.”

A copy of your diving licence and date of your last dive are also required.”

FAQ about FU International Academy, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

I've always wanted to study Spanish and then have the surf lessons in the afternoon. Puerto la Cruz seems like a good place to do this (although it looks like we will have to wear wet suits) and I am available these dates to do so. Isn't it a good idea to book the surf lessons through you at this time?
“This Intensive 20 + Surf classes includes the Intensive 20 group course and 5 surf lessons in the afternoons, so for 2 weeks you will have 10 surf lessons in total. The surf lessons take place from 16:00 to 18:00 at Playa Martiánez, located at only 15 minutes from the school. During the first hour, instructors will explain the theory, whereas the second hour will be spent in the water. You can rent wetsuits there, and of course if you want to add extra hours for surfing, you can do it there by talking to the surf instructor.

Usually most lessons take place on the beaches of Puerto de la Cruz and its surroundings. If ever the conditions were bad on these spots, the instructors will decide to go to another spot on the island, to find the most suitable waves for your level. You will use soft boards branded Victory, Gnaraloo and Madness. Although the classes are focused on surfing, you will also learn more about the waves, currents, tides and surf equipment.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
I am really interested in doing a course in your school. When will you offer a course for Level A2/B1? What will be the exact time and dates?
“If the student is not a complete beginner, it's possible to start the Spanish programme any Monday. For complete beginners, there are fixed starting dates.
Regarding the level, either previously online or on your first day, you will do a short language test to identify your current level. Based on the test results, the school will inform you on your first day of class what your exact schedule will be.”
