What is the LEVEL TEST? It is a written and oral test that helps us determine which level is best for you so that you can get the most out of the course. The tests are taken in person and consist of a listening comprehension section, a language use section (on paper) and a written text. Sometimes there is also a short oral interview.
-
What happens if I have difficulty taking the level test? Please contact the Spanish Department as soon as possible and explain what you need.
-
I don't know any Spanish. Do I have to take the level test? Yes, all students have to take the level test. Students who have never studied Spanish before take a short test to assess their recognition of sounds and letters.

I have studied at a CFA (Adult Education Centre). Do I have to take the test or can I choose my level? You have to choose the LEVEL TEST because the CFA and EOI programmes are not the same. It is best to come and check what EOI level you have.

I have studied at a private school. Do I have to take the test? Yes, programmes from schools that are not EOI or DELE exam certifications do not always correspond to our levels, so you must take the test.

-
When will I find out my level? Approximately 30-40 minutes after finishing the test, we will ask you to come back so we can tell you your level.
-
After taking the test, is my place guaranteed? No, the pre-registration process does not guarantee a place. There is a lottery for places because there may be more candidates than places.
-
Do I have to do anything after the test? Yes, we will inform you of the dates when you will need to log back into your pre-enrolment page to choose your timetable. You can choose up to 2 different EOIs and 4 timetables.
-
When will I know if I have a place? After the lottery, you will be able to see on your pre-enrolment page if you have obtained a place.
-
What do I have to do if I get a place? If you get a place, you have to enrol. You will have a deadline to do so. Once you enrol, you ONLY have 24 hours to make the payment from the moment you complete the enrolment. You can pay online or at an ATM if you print out the payment papers.
-
What happens if I don't pay within the deadline? ◦ If you don't pay within 24 hours, you will lose your place.
-
How can I pay if I don't have a card? Someone else can pay for you, regardless of who the card belongs to. If this is not possible, you can purchase a prepaid card for the amount of the registration fee at any post office in order to make the payment.
-
Are there any discounts or free enrolment fees? Yes, the Department of Education offers discounts on enrolment fees in some cases. You can check here. If you are entitled to a reduced or free enrolment fee, you will need to submit the required documentation to the registrar's office after enrolling.
-
What should I do if I am on the waiting list? When you pre-register, you will see that you are on the waiting list and a specific time frame. That is when you should try to enrol. If you connect later or earlier, you will not be able to enrol. If you cannot enrol, it is because there are no places available.
-
I am a citizen of Spain or a country where Spanish is the official language. Can I enrol? No, you cannot. This course is for foreigners. Only people over the age of 16 who are citizens of a country where Spanish is not the official language can enrol.
