Spanish courses before your hotel placement
¿Hablas Español? The Spanish Work Exchange Programme organises Spanish courses according to your desire.
The Spanish courses we offer are optional and not compulsory for participation in our programme; even if you just have basic Spanish skills you are not obliged to participate. However, it is a big advantage to start your training with basic Spanish skills, so that you can converse with your colleagues. Should you have no or just little Spanish knowledge, we recommend a 4-weeks intensive Spanish course as preparation for your stay abroad.
Generally speaking: If you can spend the time and money, you should attend a Spanish course in preparation to your practical training! Our partner language schools are situated in the most important Spanish cities.
Please ask us for the pricelist of our Spanish language courses. We will send you an individual offer according to your desired duration and destination of your language course.
