Here at Enforex, our courses are organized into 6 different Spanish language course levels, then categorized from 1 to 6. This structure adheres to the guidelines of both the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and the Instituto Cervantes. Enforex's 6 levels are also perfectly compatible with the U.S. university system; this means it is possible to receive credits at your home school for the Spanish language courses you complete in Pamplona.

We assess your level of written and spoken Spanish on the very first day with us in Pamplona submiting a test. According to the results, you will subsequently be placed into the corresponding course level. Each of Enforex Granada's Spanish language course levels - with the exception of level 6 (Proficiency) - is further divided into sub-levels which vary from lesser to greater linguistic knowledge. This assures your placement in the Spanish course level best suited to your experience with the Spanish language.
