Private group
The best of both worlds: the energy of a group class and the personalisation of a private one. Form your own group with the people you choose (partner, family, friends or colleagues) and learn Spanish together, at your own pace and focused on your goals. From 2 people at the same level (usually 2 to 6), from A1 to C2, with the option to prepare for the DELE or SIELE or to work on professional vocabulary.
For groups who already know each other: from 2 people same level €20 / h per person schedule to suit you your choice of content or exam
The best of both worlds
Private group classes combine the dynamic environment of a group class with the flexibility and personalisation usually only found in one-to-one lessons. You form the group and the content adapts to your goals.
As a group
Learn with your people
Form a closed group of 2 to 6 with your partner, family, friends or colleagues. You learn in a dynamic, motivating setting, alongside people you know and trust.
Made to fit
Your own schedule and focus
You decide how many classes a week and how long each session lasts. The content centres on what you need: everyday Spanish, professional vocabulary (medicine, business, IT) or DELE and SIELE preparation.
Academic progression
The group decides the weekly load, so the duration depends on your pace. As a reference, this table assumes 10 hours of class a week: the full A1 to C2 path adds up to 660 hours of class plus 320 hours of independent study, 980 hours in total, within the 900 to 1,000 hours the Instituto Cervantes recommends.
| Level (CEFR) | Class hours | Self-study | Total | Estimated duration (at 10 h/wk) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 80 h | 40 h | 120 h | 8 weeks · 2 months |
| A2 | 80 h | 40 h | 120 h | 8 weeks · 2 months |
| B1 | 120 h | 60 h | 180 h | 12 weeks · 3 months |
| B2 | 120 h | 60 h | 180 h | 12 weeks · 3 months |
| C1 | 120 h | 60 h | 180 h | 12 weeks · 3 months |
| C2 | 140 h | 60 h | 200 h | 14 weeks · 3.5 months |
| Total | 660 h | 320 h | 980 h | 66 weeks · 16.5 months |

How it works
A communicative methodology designed for a small group with a shared goal, supervised by the Academic Director.
Small, dynamic group
The energy and interaction of a group class, but only with the people you choose and already know.
Tailored content
The syllabus centres on your goals: everyday Spanish, professional vocabulary (medicine, business, IT) or exam preparation.
Same level, progress together
Every member takes the placement test when registering, to make sure the group is compatible. The Academic Director keeps coherence and CEFR and PCIC traceability.
Assessment
A thorough, continuous assessment, adapted to the group's goals and coherent with the CEFR and the PCIC.
Initial placement test
Every member takes a placement test to form a compatible group and to define the starting point and goals.
Ongoing formative
Real-time correction and comments on the group's tasks, with progress recorded against rubrics.
Summative by level
At the close of each level, an integrated assessment (speaking, writing and comprehension) confirms the objectives, with a CEFR-aligned rubric.
Certification
Internal certificate aligned with the CEFR
At the end of each level, every member of the group receives a ¡Vamos! Academy certificate that documents their progress and the hours completed against the CEFR descriptors.
Preparation for DELE and SIELE
If the whole group is preparing the same official exam, classes focus on the four skills and specific strategies, to earn internationally recognised accreditations.
