In this post, we explain how to get around Valencia as a student.

In our program, we offer intensive Spanish courses for all levels, consisting of 20 sessions per week designed to maximize your learning. Living in Valencia and immersing yourself in its culture will help you master Spanish in a more natural and effective way.

When you enroll in our courses, you will also have the opportunity to participate in 5 sociocultural activities every week, enriching your learning experience.

Additionally, we offer the option to complement your studies with conversation classes and/or private lessons, adapting to your specific needs.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. If you enroll in an intensive course of 20 sessions, you will benefit from 16.67 hours.

If you’re not starting from scratch, you can begin your Spanish course at any time by joining a group every Monday throughout the academic year.

If you’re a beginner, you generally have the opportunity to join 2-3 times a month.

By taking a placement test, we can recommend the exact dates that are most suitable for achieving your goals. Contact us for more details.

If you’re planning to take a PCE course, we suggest reaching a B1 level in Spanish before it starts so you can easily follow the classes.

The cost of Spanish courses varies, and we offer progressive discounts based on the course duration. You can choose from short-duration courses (up to 7 weeks) and long-duration courses (8 weeks and beyond). Details about the prices can be found on the specific course pages.

Our schedules are rotating. Some groups will have classes in the morning on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while other groups will attend in the afternoon on those days. These schedules change weekly, ensuring that all students have 2-3 free mornings and 2-3 free afternoons each week.

It is recommended to have a minimum level of B1 in Spanish to enroll in a PCE course. During the course, you will be in constant contact with the language and its specific vocabulary, which will allow you to further improve your communication skills. Below is an approximate equivalency table showing the estimated time to reach different levels of Spanish, depending on your initial level:

• From A0 to B1: 35 weeks of Spanish classes.
• From A0 to B2: 55 weeks.
• From A1 to B1: 20 weeks.
• From A1 to B2: 30 weeks.
• From A2 to B1: 15 weeks.
• From A2 to B2: 25 weeks.
• From B1 to B2: 10 weeks.

The maximum number of students per class is 12, and the minimum is 4.
If the number of students per class is less than 4, the school will reduce the number of class hours to half of the total.

The average age is between 18 and 30 years, although we have students of all ages, which greatly enriches the sessions.

You will need a notebook, pen or pencil (or digital device) and a strong desire to learn. 😉

For levels A1, A2, and B1, study materials are included in the price and will be provided in class. Levels B2 and C1 require a book, €24.

To open a group, we need a minimum of 3 students and accept a maximum of 12. The number of students varies depending on the subject, but on average, there are between 6-8 students per group.

Between 17 and 25 years old.

Notebook, pen or pencil, and a strong desire to learn. 😉

In some courses, they may ask for special materials like a calculator, ruler, compass…

If you have opted for digital materials, we recommend that you bring a computer or tablet to follow the course. If you have chosen printed materials, you will receive them on the first day of class.

In our school, we use proprietary and specialized material for the Specific Competency Tests (PCE).

In addition to detailed notes by subject, we offer you a wide range of resources to facilitate your study, including diagrams, summaries, glossaries, interactive exercises, corrected video format exams, and recorded classes.

We update the material annually to reflect any changes and add corrected previous year’s calls.

At the beginning of your course, you will receive a printed dossier (if you choose this option) and access keys to the virtual classroom corresponding to the subjects you are enrolled in.

• Live in-person/online theoretical-practical classes at the school. Review sessions must be booked in advance.
• Access to the virtual classroom of the academy for each contracted subject.
• Individualized monitoring by a tutor/teacher.
• Advice, information, and management of all the necessary procedures for taking the Specific Competency Tests, thanks to the agreement that La Llibreta SL has with UNEDAssis.

The course is paid monthly in cash, through a private online payment, or by direct debit if you have a Spanish IBAN.

In the case of a course lasting less than one month, payment will be made in advance before it begins.

Spanish + PCE courses will be paid in a maximum of two payments, one for half of the total amount before the classes start and the other half at the beginning of January.

Unless you are starting from scratch, we recommend taking the online placement test.

If you are a beginner, Spanish courses start on specific dates. There are generally 2 to 3 options per month. Get in touch with us to find out the exact date.

If you already speak some Spanish, once we have assessed your level, you can join your course on any non-holiday Monday.

If you need a student visa, start by inquiring at the nearest Spanish embassy or consulate in your place of residence, as the requirements may vary depending on your country of origin.

Regarding the certificates for the visa: if you enroll in only a Spanish course, Taronja, our collaborating school, will issue the necessary certificate. On the other hand, if your choice includes both Spanish and PCE, both certificates will be jointly managed by La Llibreta and Taronja. It is worth noting that La Llibreta is a collaborating center of UNED, and Taronja is a Cervantes accredited center.

Keep in mind that the visa issuance process can take time, so we recommend starting this process at least 3 months in advance.

It is your responsibility to meet the visa requirements. La Llibreta Academy does not assume responsibility in case of visa denial.

If you require assistance or assistance in obtaining your visa, we have an external administrative management service. You can check the available services and fees here.

We understand that unexpected situations can arise, so as long as you notify us in writing (in Spanish, English, or French) at least 15 days before the start of the course, we will refund the money you have paid in advance via bank transfer. You should notify us by email. If you made a reservation for €50 through online payment, we will deduct the bank commission, which is approximately €2.

However, the advance payment of €100 for student visa processing and any shipping costs for the visa will not be refunded in case of cancellation.

Money paid in advance will also not be refunded if the course is canceled less than 15 days before its start.

La Llibreta will not be held responsible, so it is very important to ensure in advance that you meet the requirements. If your student visa has been rejected, inform us (at least 15 days before the start of the course) and you will be refunded the deposit.

The 100€ management of the registration certificate and the additional costs of issuing it will not be refunded.

Before officially enrolling, we will ask you to accept the student contract terms. You can review them here. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have before enrolling.

Upon completion of the course, the school will issue a Certificate of Attendance to those students who have attended 80 per cent of the Spanish classes. If you have also passed the final exam, the certificate will include the mark obtained in the level you have taken. The certificates issued are from the school. If you need an official certificate you will have to take a DELE (Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language) exam organized by the Instituto Cervantes.

If you want to be picked up at the airport when you arrive, or taken back when you leave, La llibreta offers this service at an additional cost.

• Transfer service to and from the airport: 80€
• One-way airport transfer service: 45€

You will be insured while you are within our facility. If you want to extend your insurance we recommend you contract additional insurance. If you need advice, write to us and we will recommend one.
