Yes. In all our courses, we always strive to provide native teachers who hold specific training in language teaching. Advanced levels are taught exclusively by native faculty members.

From day one, all classes are taught entirely in the target language you are studying. However, there is no need to worry: our communicative methodology is specifically designed to help you adapt quickly and express yourself exclusively in your new language.

The maximum capacity is 20 students per classroom, with a minimum of 8. The average group size is around 12 students.

Yes, all our courses are strictly aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the international standard defining language proficiency from levels A1 to C2. This ensures your learning is clearly structured and recognized throughout Europe, whether you are studying to earn an official certificate or simply looking to progress with reliable guarantees.

Additionally, our Spanish courses are backed by the Instituto Cervantes Curricular Plan (PCIC), the most comprehensive reference guide for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Thanks to this framework, each level has well-defined content and a coherent progression: you will know exactly what you are learning and why. In short, every course is supported by a solid academic foundation, even if the classroom atmosphere feels purely dynamic and engaging.

• For Degree Admissions: If you need to certify your language proficiency to meet an admission requirement for a specific degree, you must take the official UCAM placement exam. Exam sessions are published periodically on our website, so please check back regularly to avoid missing registration deadlines.

• For General Language Courses (Spanish): If you simply want to find out your level to sign up for one of our courses, don't worry. Before each term begins, we conduct a level placement test for all students who have previously studied Spanish but do not hold an official certificate. This is a straightforward process that allows us to guide you and place you in the group that best fits your current knowledge.

   

At the end of the course, all students receive a certificate indicating their corresponding level according to the CEFR, as well as the total number of hours completed. If a student requires an internationally recognized official certification, they have the option to register for official external exams depending on the language chosen.

Please note: We certify proficiency levels at an internal UCAM level as a university-specific qualification (título propio) for curricular purposes. Acceptance at other universities or external centers depends entirely on the receiving institution.

Holding an official certification of a B1 level or higher, either in English or in the language of your host country, counts as additional merit in international mobility calls (such as Erasmus or UCAM's own exchange programs).

You should also keep in mind that many destinations establish specific language requirements, which are often higher than a B1 level. Therefore, it is highly important to certify a language level equal to that required by your preferred destination before applying for a mobility spot. Furthermore, you can take advantage of your stay abroad to further improve your language skills and subsequently certify higher levels.

To resolve this issue, we highly recommend reviewing our Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy, where you will find detailed information regarding the refund process.

It is mandatory for all students who cannot provide an official certificate for the level immediately preceding the one they wish to study. If you do not have proof of that level, you must take the test, and your results will be sent to you via email, phone call, or WhatsApp message.

While the test results do not strictly block entry to other levels, it is highly recommended to join the group that matches your true proficiency. Otherwise, you risk falling behind during classes, slowing down the pace of classmates who do have the required level, and ultimately failing the final course exam.

The Platform features interactive exercises modeled after the official Cambridge exam, and these exercises are self-correcting, except for the writing and speaking sections, which will be corrected, evaluated, and given feedback by a tutor/teacher.

The Platform is designed for each student to log in and complete the exercises at their own convenience and schedule.

Once the student purchases the license and is registered on the platform, they will have 3 months to practice and improve every section of the exam.

The price for the 3 months of access to the platform and its corresponding corrections by the teacher/tutor is €165.

Students can complete as many writings as they want, but the teacher will correct a maximum of 24 writings throughout the 3 months.

The student will have the possibility to recognize 1 elective ECTS credit for every 20 hours of the course toward their current undergraduate degree. For the credit validation, they will only pay 50% of the credit price in their corresponding degree, upon prior request to the Language Center Secretariat (escueladeidiomas@ucam.edu)

At the end of a training course, an exam will be taken to obtain an official diploma specifying hours, level, language, and the grade obtained. In official exam preparation courses, a certificate of attendance will be awarded, upon prior request to the Language Center Secretariat (escueladeidiomas@ucam.edu)

In both training and official exam preparation courses, a minimum attendance rate of 60% or higher is required to request attendance certificates.
