Instituto Cervantes - London
Would you like to learn Spanish in a Spanish environment?
The Instituto Cervantes is the official place to learn Spanish in the world. In London we offer daytime
and evening courses seven days a week. We do regular and intensive Spanish language courses for
all levels, from complete beginners to proficiency (levels A1 – C2 of the CEFR). We also offer a wide
range of courses for specific needs, such as to prepare for official exams (DELE, AS, A2 and GCSE),
develop specific language skills, learn about different aspects of culture, courses for professional
needs, online courses (AVE), classes for children and teacher training.
In addition to the courses featured in our program, we arrange private tuition for individuals and
groups at our premises and in-company tailor-made training for businesses, hospitals and schools.
More than 1000 students enjoyed our courses last term… Why not be one of them?

Enrolment Procedure & Terms and Conditions.
HOW TO ENROL
IF YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SPANISH choose any of our Inicial 1 courses.
IF YOU HAVE STUDIED SPANISH BEFORE BUT NOT AT THE INSTITUTO CERVANTES IN LONDON
● You will have to take a level test. We strongly recommend that you visit the Instituto Cervantes to do this in person. If this is not possible, a
telephone test can be arranged. Tests can be taken on the following days and times:
- Fridays throughout the year from 14.30 to 17.30
- April 8, 9, 10 from 14.00 to 18.00
- April 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 24 from 14.00 to 17.30
- April 11, 18 & 25 (Saturday) from 11.00 to 15.30
Please make an appointment for your 15-minute oral test, by calling the enrolment office on 0207 235 0353. Before your appointment,
please download the written level test from our website, complete it and remember to bring it with you. The fee for the level test (£20) will be
deducted from your course fee when you enrol within a year of taking the test.
IF YOU ARE CONTINUING YOUR STUDIES WITH US To enrol for the next course level (i.e. Intermediate, Advanced...) you must have passed an exam for the
level you have just completed. A certificate can be issued on request. You can enrol before having the exam result to benefit from the early
enrolment discount, as you will be entitled to a full refund if you do not pass.
ENROLMENT PROCEDURE
● Once your level has been established, or if you are a beginner, you can enrol either in person at our office or by phone and pay by credit or
debit card. The enrolment office is open at the following times:
* Monday to Friday: 10.00 to 18.30
* Saturday: 10.00 to 16.30
CONCESSIONS
● To be eligible for a 5% loyalty discount on our Spanish Courses you must have been enrolled on a course in the last two terms. For an extra

terms plus an extra 5% discount if they enrol at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the course.
● Students must apply for any appropriate discount at the time of enrolment. No discounts can be applied retrospectively.
● Several discounts can be applied at the same time up to a maximum of 25% discount.
● Payments can only be made by debit or credit card (except American Express). We regret that we cannot accept cheques.
●Enrolment is automatic once payment has been received. Students will be notified in advance if a course has been cancelled. We regret that
we cannot accept payment of fees by instalments. Fees are exclusive of books.
● Fees include free library membership for the length of the course and a 50% discount to use our AVE online learning material for 12 weeks
(free for students enrolled in Inicial 1 courses).
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
●Students should consider their personal commitments and circumstances before enrolment as we regret that no fees are refundable under
any circumstances once the course has started. No partial refund can be granted for classes not attended and no postponement can be
allowed.
●Cancellations must be made in writing by sending an email to [email protected] at least one working day before the beginning of the
course and are subject to a 10% charge of the total course fee.
● All courses require a minimum of 5 students in order to run. The Instituto Cervantes reserves the right to cancel a course in case of an
insufficient number of students or due to unforeseen circumstances. Courses may be cancelled at short notice. Once a course is cancelled
students will be notified immediately, and they will be entitled to a full refund.
● The Instituto Cervantes reserves the right to change teachers during a course. Occasionally trainee teachers may participate in the classes.
● The Instituto Cervantes reserves the right to change, in exceptional cases, and by giving notice in advance, the timetable of some class
sessions. Classes may also be cancelled at short notice in case of unforeseen circumstances.
CHANGE OF COURSE Students should consider their personal commitments and circumstances before enrolling in a class, as they will need prior
approval from the Instituto to move to another class, and this can only be done one time and during the first two weeks of the course provided
that there are places available in the course they wish to move to. No changes are allowed in Intensive and Crash courses.
In case of missed lessons students must speak to their teacher directly before or after the missed session. Teachers are not
available to be contacted outside class. Please note that the enrolment office does not provide the teachers’ contact details. Students do not
need to contact the enrolment office to let us know they will miss a class.
